KGS High Dan Players
    Keywords: People

This is a list of players on KGS (the Kiseido Go Server) who are ranked there as 7 dan or higher, including pros. Generally, players rated with a ? are not considered, unless they have played a lot of games with proper handicap and haven't lost more than a tiny fraction leading to a [9d?] provisional rating.
