KGSHigh Dan Players/ Discussion

BobMcGuigan: The question mark on ranks apparently has two meanings for 9d players. One meaning is that the player hasn't firmly qualified for 9d. The other is that the player is stronger than 9d. Look at the rating graphs of players like [ext] mymy and [ext] veggie for examples.

phenomene: In fact only the first meaning is true. A player can be charted more than 9d on his or her graph without having a question mark. There is an indirect connection however, because very strong players (above 9d) usually don't play with correct handicap and lose not enough games to get a solid rating.

Vlad: I think jim is Lucian Deaconu.

NeoNemesis: Where's smallfish on the list? He is 8dan AGA and is currently teaching Go. I have vowed not to reveal his identity thus i won't. However he is extremely strong and i think he deserves to have a name on the list too.

guest: not many ppl are 8d AGA you know?

Neil: Most of the references to 7d and 7d? should probably be 9d and 9d? now, no? (Ignore what I wrote here earlier, I skimmed past the first paragraph.) [Hu: changed to 9d.]

GrandYan: I have a suspicion that kansai is the same person as kitahama. Kitahama is an extremely strong player on KGS, his real name, according to him, is KansaiKiin, which is the same as kansai's real name.

Niklaus: Maybe it's not a single person but an account used by different pros (or insei?) from the KansaiKiin?

kokiri: the kansai kiin is located in kitahama, osaka, i believe
