Rank
PageType: Path   Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Culture & History, Go term

When you play Go in a competitive or club environment, you will in time receive a rank.

The competitive environment might be run by a national association, an international association, a Go server or a computer program.

You will start somewhere around 30 or 25 kyu and as your ability progresses, your rank will go up in steps to 1 kyu (Japanese term - in Korea gup). After that comes 1 dan, the first amateur 'expert' level'; and eventually 7 dan, which is the highest generally-recognised rank for amateurs.
