Kyu
   

Kyu is student's rank in Japan. Dan is master's rank. By definition difference in n-kyu means that the players have approximately equal chances to win when playing with n-stone handicap.

1st kyu is only a stone weaker that 1st dan (shodan). The level of a beginner is assumed to be around 30th kyu.
