The Ahan Tongshan Cup is equvilant of the Agon Cup in Japan. It is sponsored by the same company, the Agon Shu. 144 professional and 8 amateur players come together to play a fast game tournament. The format is single knockout. Time control: thirty seconds for the first move, then ten periods of 60-second byo-yomi. Last year winner of the Ahan Cup was Qiu Jun 8p who defeated in finals Chang Hao 9p. Since it's a fast game tournament it's very exciting to watch it live broadcast on wbaduk.
