Biography
editIng Chang-ki was born in Cixi County (currently Cicheng, Jiangbei District, Ningbo), Zhejiang Province in 1917.[2] As a young man, Ing worked as a clerk in a bank in Shanghai, where he later became a famous local banker. In 1949, he went to Taipei and eventually became an industrial mogul in Taiwan.
Ing created the Ing Chang-ki Weichi Educational Foundation for further promotion of Go, while encouraging the use of the name Goe in an attempt to differentiate its name from the English verb go.[3]
Until 2000, he sponsored a tournament and substantial prize for computer Go programs known as the Ing Prize.
