Choong Moo

1st Gup
Black Stripe pattern

The given name of the great Admiral Yi Sun Sin of the Yi Dynasty. He was reputed to have invented, in 1592 AD, the first armored battleship (“kobulson”, turtle ship) which was the precursor of the present-day submarine. The fact that this pattern ends up with the left hand attack symbolizes his regrettable death having no chance to show his unrestrained potential, checked by the forced reservation of his loyalty to the king (1545-1598). 30 moves.
