Notes

  • A European 7D grade is believed to be approx equivalent to a professional 1D grade.
  • (1) IGS uses below 28k for "not rated" users and guest logins.
  • For rank translations between AGA, China, Europe, Japan, Korea, IGS, NNGS, DGS and IYT see function "convert_to_rating()" in [ext] DGS server source code. ErikO: The conversions in "convert_to_rating()" are in most cases taken directly from the rank translation table at NNGS (type help rank).

Carey - KGS just fixed a math error in their rating algorithm and it made a lot of people increase in rank instantly, sometimes as much as 6 ranks. Does any know if that affects this chart?
