Korean promotion system

   

Korean promotions are awarded either according to playing results or under special circumstances.

A non-exhaustive list of promotion rules:

  • 3 rank increase for winning an international title
  • 1 rank increase for challenging for an international title
  • 1 rank increase for winning a domestic title
  • All teaching professionals (Janice Kim, Alexandr Dinerchtein, Svetlana Shikshina) got a promotion to 3 dan from 1 dan in 2010.
  • All recently active professionals starting to teach abroad got promoted to 8 dan, or 9 dan if they were 8 dan already in 2010.
  • All gold medalists in the Asian games were promoted by 1 rank in 2010.
