Re: Professional qualification systems in Asia
My guess is that one becomes pro if they wish to dedicate their life to the game, instead of just making bank. The hard-core Go players of today may benefit from a monastic approach to Go. Makes me wonder why there has never been any return to the iemoto (headmaster) system in modern Go.
