"The 19x19 board is order, but each move is an unpredictable universe."
1. The Clock Shop – Where It All Began
Young Lee Chang-ho sent a letter to Cho Hun-hyun,
proclaiming that he had solved the difficult Go problem Cho had posed.
Cho received the letter and,
met Lee Chang-ho inside the letter itself.
A boy with a quiet, clear gaze.
Cho instinctively thought:
"This kid is different. I want to raise him."
Soon after, in a small clock shop in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province,
run by Lee Chang-ho’s father,
the two finally sat across each other and played their first game.
A space filled with countless ticking clocks,
a Go board between a master and a prodigy.
Destiny had begun.
2. Across Countless Match Venues
They faced off across countless match venues,
from small Korean halls to international stages.
At first, Cho ruled them all.
Every spotlight was his.
But unseen, time began to flow.
One move, one match at a time,
the tide quietly shifted.
The arenas that once celebrated victory
were now preparing for a silent downfall.
3. The Pre-Match Stage – Cho Standing Again
When everything seemed over,
Cho Hun-hyun stepped onto the stage once more.
At the pre-match interview,
surrounded by flashing cameras and murmuring reporters,
Cho faced forward and said:
"I am still here."
This was not mere pride,
but a vow to carve his name into time one final time.
Victory was not over.
Neither was his spirit.
4. The Go Board – A Small Universe
The 19x19 Go board: a perfect grid,
yet within it, endless unpredictability.
Cho once stood at its center.
But with the emergence of Lee Chang-ho,
gravity shifted.
Collapse arrived quietly,
but it was never the end.
Upon that board,
in the fabric of time itself,
Cho stood again.
The Match weaves, within a tiny board,
the vast cycles of human rise, fall, and resilience.
