Yet in recent years there have been signs that Taiwanese Go is on the upswing: The Taiwan Chi Yuan Culture Foundation has been established with corporate support; the homegrown Go master Chou Chun-hsun won the first LG Cup World Baduk Championship; and a younger generation of Taiwanese Go players who moved to Japan, including Chang Hsu and Hsieh Yi-min, have also won important titles there.
不過在近年因民間企業支持的「台灣棋院」成立，以及本土棋王周俊勳為台灣贏得第一座世界圍棋賽冠軍，加上我國新一代的旅日棋士張栩、謝依旻等人，屢獲日本職業棋賽的重要頭銜，這塊原本極度不被重視的領域，終於出現轉機。
