I had looked at a much older OGS graph. I canât see percentages here but it seems like 1D is the top 5 or 10%.
Thatâs neat, I didnât realize that was being done. Donât take me too harshly, I am just very passionate.
My wife has actually banned me from r/baduk because I was getting so frustrated xD
I really love this graph. Why is the Advanced category 2D instead of 3k where the brown starts? I think ~3k+ being advanced seems reasonable with this data.
I agree with this mentality, and it frustrates me which is why I want to get people to understand that Kyu players can be good at this game as well. I think the changes should be done with the correct data and people need to accept that their views are wrong/incorrect. SDK are good at the game!
@GreenAsJade just do what you are going to do. I think you will get yelled at no matter what so ignore us xD. Your work is appreciated.
I think this data shows that we are right as sdk players to not consider ourselves good at the game. Weâre barely above the median, and some of us are below it. Intermediate seems about right for that
Then Advanced, Intermediate, & Beginner are not âgoodâ so I guess Dan players are also not âgoodâ because we are not Professionals. I just completely disagree with you on this point. We should leave it at this though and agree to disagree. This is not a topic worth turning into a debate in this thread imo.
Sorry, I was unclear with âwill think thatâ: I meant to agree with those two quotes, and with you, that the question is quite clear! The motivation for the question was also clear to me. I only differed slightly from the quotes in wanting to emphasise the question, not the buttons.
I realise I was too late to the party, but I hoped it might be something to think about when you evaluate.
this assumes, of course, a standard approach and shared value of approaching the game, to which there is clear evidence of major categories of people in any game with matchmaking that do not carry this shared value, such as sandbaggers or airbaggers. I think Dwyrin even once spoke of making accounts on one server at the highest rank possible until he stayed in dan.
Granted, most members who would abuse these systems would probably not get confused.
Hard disagree on the idea that itâs âsimply use the rank you are elsewhereâ, we have a World Rank Comparison for a reason, and I know whenever I do tournaments this becomes a serious consideration for if I should self-promote or not, although OGSâs initiative to align with AGA has helped my situation specifically
Itâs currently at 61k, but thatâs clearly overrated, it isnât that strong. All wins I have seen resulted from the opponent resigning in a won position or at least being ahead.
Thanks, @Feijoa, I hope this will silence those that claim 30k players are basically playing random moves or worse. They arenât.
Apparenlty you can win with a 36 stone handicap on 9x9 even
I think itâs great to have a bot like that available anyway Even if players just wanted practice capturing stones and making sure they understand the rules itâs useful.
Iâm not sure on the utility for understanding the rules, but for quashing some peopleâs misconception of what Random play is, I think itâs great that this is so available (are we getting sub-25k ranks in the next rating update?)
The bot is mostly, and especially in even games, putting stones on the board for you to capture. Essentially itâs a way to test you understand capturing, and hence a large part of the rules. If the game goes to scoring, you get to see how a game is scored.
