What's the real name of South Korea's ninth-stage Go master, nicknamed "Stone Buddha"?

Li Changgao, nicknamed "Stone Buddha".

Why does Li Changgao have the nickname "Stone Buddha"? Because of his character.

Li Changgao's character, in a legend, was vividly portrayed. In a competition, a Japanese photographer took more than 30 photos for Li Changgao in a row and selected one, but when it was time to develop the film, he couldn't find which one to develop. Because look carefully, Li Changgao's expression is the same in more than 30 photos, and there is no change. Some people say that if you take 1000 photos of Li Changgao, if it weren't for different postures, your expression wouldn't have changed.

Li Changgao (1975-), a Korean professional Weiqi player, has created many historical records of Weiqi and initiated the "Li Changgao era". From 1992, he won the first world championship, and in 2007, he won the 18 individual championship and the 13 team championship (with eight people as the main champion). Won any world professional Go competition held before 2007 (including Shi Ying Cup, Fujitsu Cup, Toyo Securities Cup, LG Cup, Samsung Cup, Toyota Cup, Chunlan Cup, Central Cup and other individual competitions, as well as Lu Zhen Cup, Nong Xin Cup and other team competitions), and truly achieved the "grand slam" of the world professional Go competition.
