StormCrow: As of now (sometime in 2003), Samarkand shows her rank as 3 dan. I've just noticed that the AGA e-journal announced this in their June 9th issue.

JANICE KIM WINS MAJOR PROMOTION: Janice Kim has just been promoted to 3 dan by Korea's Hanguk Kiwon, the highest rank they've ever awarded to a woman player. "Unfortunately," reports Janice. "I have never concurrently been the same rank as a world champion, as they promoted Lee Se dol to 6 dan at the same time."

Scartol: Ms. Kim is a co-author, with Jeong Soo-hyun 9 dan, of the Learn To Play Go Series.
