Please add if you know more about these players. --Dieter
Zarlan: breakfast is ranked as 1p on KGS, not 7d. Fhayashi: I've heard mymy is a Korean 6-dan pro. Zarlan (answering Dieter): No it doesn't say that. It says that he is 1p, but then it also says that Ion Florescu is 6d. Ion Florescu may be 6d, but on KGS he is 7d (7d?, but 7d none the less). Being a 7d on KGS, he should be (and is) of course on SevenDanPlayersOnKGS in precisely the same way that breakfast should not be since he is neither 7d nor ranked as 7d on KGS. Keeping him in the list since he is amongst the strongest players on KGS is a good point though (although it should be clear that he isn't 7d on KGS. Simply because he isn't.) Dieter: Good point.
BobMcGuigan: The question mark on ranks apparently has two meanings for 7d players. One meaning is that the player hasn't firmly qualified for 7d. The other is that the player is much stronger than 7d. Look at the rating graphs of players like phenomene : In fact only the first meaning is true. A player can be charted more than 7d on his graph without having a question mark. There is an indirect connection however, because very strong players (above 7d) usually don't play with correct handicap and lose not enough games to get a solid rating. --- jewel: RoseDuke doesn't exist on KGS anymore Andre Engels: Updated the list, by removing several players whose handle does not exist any more, who have dropped down to 6d or 5d (in one case even 2d), or who have no rating while there is no good reason to believe they would be 7d if they had, while adding a number who were not previously there. phenomene : 28th may, 2003. I updated the list again. A change in KGS anchors today created some new 7d. This is a copy of the living page "Seven-Dan Players on KGS" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
