evaluate

It not only contains the advanced theories of various schools in Japan, but also maintains South Korea's strong fighting skills, which is worthy of the glorious image of a generation of grand masters. In a very delicate historical period, the relationship between Japan and South Korea skillfully used their own advantages and appropriately introduced the advanced theory of Japanese go to South Korea, which laid a solid foundation for the take-off of contemporary Korean go. This is Zhao's greatest contribution to Korean go!
