My rank didn't go up. 
Did you check the graph? I'm still 3k, but I nonetheless shot up 1/3 of a stone, just like everyone else.Fedya wrote:My rank didn't go up.

Maybe I just didn't lose anything for my last loss.

3d KGS is 1d Czech? that seems off to me, I've played against the czech team...Sur wrote: I'll call myself dan player after I reach it in EGF rating (it takes cca 3d KGS in our conditions). Right now, I call myself 13-kyu even when I have a 5-kyu @KGS.
But everyone's perception is different. Mine is caused by going to the tournaments and knowing a lot of 'real' people in our go community. If one plays most of his serious games on KGS, it's only fair he calls himself 1-dan if he reaches it there. You can't blame him and force him to use ranking system you use/like the most

Maybe a strong 2-dan?

Also Laman here, 1-dan KGS, is only 3-kyu EGF.

But the important thing is, are you "4d" or "4d?". They are totally different ranks on KGS. I suspect that you are the latter, which means you are not a KGS 4 dan.Joaz Banbeck wrote:On KGS, I am now 4 dan.
I gained 4 ranks in about 4 months without playing any rated games.

The thing is, it gets somewhat nonlinear in the dan ranks (AGA 6d can be KGS 4,5, or 6d)Sur wrote:

Also Laman here, 1-dan KGS, is only 3-kyu EGF.
And AGA 6d is generally considered to be European/Chinese 4d
(Technically I'm 2580 in EGF, but that's just because for some reason the tournament used my AGA rating as my starting EGF rating, and then I didn't lose to any European players...)
But I'm not sure, really tough to say what the right conversion is sometimes...

Funny thing is I found at least one guy that is 1d in EGF and KGS

There is a question mark after it, which in my opinion, is appropriate.wms wrote:But the important thing is, are you "4d" or "4d?"...Joaz Banbeck wrote:On KGS, I am now 4 dan.

This is not funny, but it is normal that in such wide ranges there are some cases where a EGF-1d has a rank of 1d at KGS.Pippen wrote:Funny thing is I found at least one guy that is 1d in EGF and KGS

The question mark is a symbol which in this context indicates that the system doesn't have enough data to compute your rating accurately.
