Career

He won the WPA World Nine-ball Championship in 1993 against Thomas Hasch of Germany. Thus, he became the first male Chinese Taipei player to win a world championship in pocket billiards.

In 1995, he won the International Challenge of Champions against Japan's Takeshi Okumura, who was won the 1994 world champion in nine-ball.

Three year later, he won the gold medal in the eight-ball event of the Asian Games.[1]

Chao regained the World Nine-ball Championship for the second time in 2000 by defeating Mexico's Ismael Paez, 17–6. The score was the largest winning margin ever made in a World Championship final.

In 2001 Chao won the International Challenge of Champions for the second time, defeating Francisco Bustamante who won the event in 1999. He won the event for a third time in 2005 with a victory over the defending champion Thomas Engert.[2]
