Chairman Kato, distinguished guests, hello everyone. 　　

I am Lin Chun-Yen. Before this year's Judan Tournament, I was not in my best form, so my only goal was to play each game well and hopefully achieve good results. When I was fortunate enough to earn the challenger's spot, I was truly delighted.

However, I also understood that winning the challenge would not be easy. The previous Judan title holder, Wang Yuan-Jun, is an outstanding player.

Throughout this tournament, from the preliminary rounds to the challenge match, I had a great deal of luck and performed well. I feel very fortunate and happy to have won the championship.

There are many people I would like to thank. I would like to thank Mr. Kato, Chairman of USE Electronics, for his long-term support and sponsorship of professional Go in Taiwan. I would also like to thank Chairman Lin Wen-Bo, Chairman Weng Ming-Hsien, Teacher Lin Sheng-Hsien, Teacher Chang Yuan-Hsi, and all the professional players who have helped me grow and improve.

I will continue to work hard and strive for even better results. Thank you.

Lin Chun-Yen
