Seven-Dan Players on KGS
Keywords: People
This is a list of players on KGS (the Kiseido Go Server) who are ranked there as
7 dan or higher. Generally, I have not considered players rated with a ?, unless they have played a lot of games with proper handicap and just haven't lost any of them...
EGF Ratings as of July 4, 2003.

Ratings change, which may affect usefulness.
The KGS Teachers list may be very useful for some.
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 mymy and veggie for examples.
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.
Vlad: I think jim is Lucian Deaconu.
NeoNemesis: Where's smallfish on the list? He is 8dan AGA and is currently teaching go. I have vowed not to reveal his identity thus i won't. However he is extremely strong and i think he deserves to have a name on the list too =)
Neil: Most of the references to 7d and 7d? should probably be 9d and 9d? now, no? (Ignore what I wrote here earlier, I skimmed past the first paragraph.)
