Mamumamu style. Because obviously how likely you are to be seeded into the main rounds makes these achievements more or less difficult, these are moreso rough criteria for fun. Also, these are based on modern standards of what it would take to win an international, not those of 30 years ago. Each class can be further subdivided into five subclasses from highest to lowest *(perhaps they should be in the class above), +, blank (standard), -, / (perhaps they shoul be in the class below)

S Class, capable of winning international titles in their teens

A Class, capable of winning international titles in their early twenties

B Class, capable of winning international titles in their late twenties and early thirties, their peak strength.

C class, by their peak strength can reach the main tournament of a major international by qualifying through an open international preliminary, considered equivalent to reaching the Japanese Honinbo league, Japanese Meijin League, or Japanese Kisei S League. Although it's of course not limited to Japanese players, or even pros necessarily, I only know well enough these to use as a yardstick, again these are today's standards:

D Class, by their peak strength can reach the final preliminary of the Japanese Honinbo or Japanese Meijin, or reach the Japanese Kisei C League.

E Class, by their peak strength can reach preliminary A of the Honinbo or Meijin

F Class, by their peak strength would have the ability to qualify as a pro by finishing in the top two of the Nihon Kiin pro exam, although they'd be above the age limit to participate obviously.

G Class, ??? I've run out of definitions. For hypothetical classes H, I, J, K then that would have to be in the amateurs section
