Re: What is a Beginner?
Depends; in a forum thread asking to define what a beginner is, then I consider myself a beginner. On a resume or during an interview, I am a pro-level grand master.

Re: What is a Beginner?
A beginner is someone who has not been playing very long. I am being facetious. You meant what should be considered "beginner level". That question can be answered by reading books aimed at beginners. They usually explain
I've heard many times from older Koreans, "Don't play baduk if you don't know nets and ladders." A variant of that is "You know everything there is to know if you know dansoo, nets, and ladders." The spirit of both sayings seems to be that you can consider yourself a graduate of the beginner class if you know nets and ladders. Of course, that is a very arbitrary line, but that is the nature of the question you have asked. You will get the results of a survey, and not an authoritative answer.

- Two eyes make life
