Lee Sedol (has 4 baduk4all fans) Comments | Game list Lee Sedol (Yi Se-tol, born on February 3, 1983) is a South Korean professional. Lee is known to be a risk-taker who reads very carefully. A very strong player, he reached 9 dan when he was only 21 years old. A prodigy, Lee turned pro at the age of 12, but had a rocky start to his career and took 3 years to reach 2 dan. His career started to accelerate, however, when he was promoted to 3 dan in 1999. In 2000, he had an exorbitant 32 game winning streak. After his impressive run, he won his first title, the 5th Chunwon (equivalent to the Tengen title in Japanese Nihon-Kiin). Lee Sedol, only 17, was becoming famous in Korea, and was given the nickname "Boy, the Unbeatable". The Hanguk Kiwon changed its promotion rules in 2003. It would allow giving more credit to the players who were doing well at the time. Lee Sedol saw this and took it as a chance to move up the ranks, which he did. In that same year, he moved from 6 dan to 9 dan. This happened after he won the 7th LG Cup over fellow Korean baduk player Lee Chang-ho, and came in second place in the 2nd KT Cup. Nowadays, Lee is considered the best player in the world.
