Dan
Dan is master's rank in Japan. Both amateurs and professionals use this term, but the strength is very different. Amateur players are supposed to be ranked from 1st to 6th dan. Difference in amateur dans is equivalent to a handicap that would make chances of winning even. Professionals are considered to be stronger than 6th amateur dan. Difference in strength between professional dans is less than one stone (assumingly, 1/3 of a stone). This is a copy of the living page "Dan" at Sensei's Library.
