Rank System
Difficulty: Advanced
Go Ranking Systems A world-wide-valid authority for providing ranks to Go players does not exist. === Newbee Info If you are a Newbie to Go: Assume your rank is between 30 and 15 kyu . How to improve your rank? Just challenge other players. You have won a game against a player, who pretended to have a stronger rank than you ? Fine! Adjust your individual rank - But: Please only step by step. It does not matter if your opponent acknowledges the most recent result. Main point is discovering and communicating your real level of Go-Experience to the next opponent. As fair as you are able to. === Non-Newbee Info Beyond 5 kyu local differences in rating systems might become of interest: Comparison table: AGA CHINA EUROPE IGS JAPAN KOREA NNGS --- ----- ------ --- ----- ----- ---- 27K 30K 29K 28K 26K 33Gup 23K 26K 25K 28K 22K 29Gup 19K 22K 21K 26K 18K 25Gup 22k 15K 18K 17K 20K 14K 21Gup 18k 11K 14K 13K 15K 10K 17Gup 14k 7K 10K 9K 10K 6K 13Gup 10k 5K 8K 7K 7K 4K 11Gup 8k 3K 6K 5K 5K 2K 9Gup 6k 1K 4K 3K 3K *1D 7Gup 4k *1D 3K 2K 2K 2D 6Gup 3k 2D 2K 1K 1K 3D 5Gup 2k 3D 1K *1D *1D 4D 4Gup 1k 4D *1D 2D 2D 4-5D 3Gup *1d 5D 2D 3D 3D 5-6D 2Gup 2d 6D 3D 4D 4D 6D 1Gup 3d 6-7D 4D 5D 5D 6-7D 1Gup 4d 7D 4-5D 5-6D 6D 7D 1Gup 5-6d AGA = American Go Association Europe = European Go Association IGS = Internet Go Server NNGS = No Name Go Server ( See also: GoOrg , GoServers .)
