Grand Champion

The Grand Champion (大棋士赛, "Great Go Master") is a Chinese domestic knockout tournament that brings together the country's top professionals in a single-elimination bracket. Recent editions have been hosted in the Greater Bay Area (Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong) with the title sponsor prefix "Bay Area Cup" (湾区杯), reflecting the region's rise as a hub for Chinese Go. The aspirational title reflects the tournament's ambition to crown China's supreme competitive player — a statement of dominance in a country with over 500 active professionals.
