Women's Guksu
The Women's Guksu or Women's Kuksu (Korean: 여자국수전; Hanja: 女子國手戰; RR: Yeojaguksujeon), officially Pro Woman Baduk Masters, is a South Korean women's Go competition. The tournament was established in 1994 and is held annually (except 2001 and 2004). It is organized by The Korea Economic Daily.
The name guksu, with Sino-Korean etymology from guk 'nation' and su 'hand', is shared with the now-discontinued Guksu competition which had no gender restriction.
The winner's prize is 30 million won and the runner-up's prize is 10 million won (as of 2023).[1] Formerly, the winner's prize was 12 million won in 2018,[2] 15 million won in 2019 and 2020,[3][4] 20 million won in 2021,[5] and 25 million won in 2022.[6] Each player has 1 hour of thinking time followed by 1 minute per move.
