In game 4 of the title match, both the Meijin and the challenger were in byo-yomi, when Cho asked ko-toriban (turn) to the scorer (is it my turn to take the ko?) and as he said "yes", Cho played 213, taking a ko without making a ko-threat. At that time, such question and answer dialogs were customary. Ishida Yoshio in attendance and Asahi Shimbun immediately discussed the situation, and Tamura Ryukihei (the game writer) announced "mu-shoubu" (no game). The scorer was Hikosaka Naoto (4 dan), who later became Judan.

Cho answered "I did not come to Japan to obtain 5 dan", when a journalist offered his congratulations when Cho was promoted to 5 dan some years earlier. Now he publicly returned home full of honors. He was invited by the President of Korea, and a photo of the President and Cho in the Presidential Mansion was published on the top page of the Korean evening news.
