From the Goama magazine: An interview with Marriag(P), Tygem Kings-of-Kings


Marriag/철이(P) is one of the main stars of Tygem. You can read lot of articles about him on GoSensations.com – just use site search.

Few days ago he won the Kings-of-Kings tournament on Tygem with the first prize $20.000.

More than 500 9-dans took part in this competition, including lot of accounts with “P” – professional grades. In one of the first rounds he crushed Park Chiun, 9p – best Korean female professional, who played under her real name. Yoo Changhyuk, 9p, who commented that game for Tygem members said that “Marriag/철이(P) is one of the best professionals in the world, who has really great skills”

Still we don’t know his real name. I heard 5 versions: Lee Changho, Lee Sedol, Park Yeunhun, Choi Chelhan or Kang Donyun. The most popular version is Park Yeunhun, 9-dan – he is also very strong in yose, but it’s a bit strange that Marriag/철이(P) plays more actively, comparing to defensive playing style of Park.

 

Marriag/철이(P) agreed to answer few questions by telephone:

 

Q. Congratulations! When did you start to play on Tygem by this account?

A. I created it on February. It was a big surprise for me that my nickname is so famous and there are lot of articles about it on Baduk websites. I was just lucky in the last tournament and my recent score on Tygem is not good.

 

Q. Do you know who was your opponent in the final match -울아가(P)

A. Yes, I think that I know him. He is Korean professional near 20 years old. There are so many young and strong professionals nowadays in Korea ….

A. Sorry, I don’t want to say the real name. Will just give few hints: I am Korean professional, who was born in 80’s and now I am near 25 years old

Q. Can we say that Kings-of-Kings tournament was very successful and lot of professional players took part in it?

A. Yes, many of my friends played. The first prize is big and it makes the tournament very attractive

 

Q. What are your future plans on Tygem?

A. I have lot of fans now, so I cannot disappear suddenly. I will continue playing.
