Well, KGS rates me at 10k at the moment, but I beat robinz (an 8k) in an even match, so make up your own mind.
There's no way I'm 8k - it's true that KGS was calling me that at the time we played, but I had only just crept into it, and that was due to pure random drift, as I hadn't been playing on KGS. In fact, since I hit 9k early this year, I've only played 1 rated game against someone of similar strength - which was an even game against a 9k a few days later, which I won, albeit narrowly. At the time this made me feel better about calling myself an SDK, but I've not found time to play much since, and when I have (as in the tourney) I've played in a way more befitting a 12k or something.
Still, I seem to play better the more time I feel I have to think, so I ought to be able to approximate 9k in a forum game
PS: Mnemonic, from what I've seen from playing against you and looking at other games you've posted on the forum, you're at least 10k in strength, probably 9k or perhaps even higher.
