Are there only nine positions for Go players? What is the reason?

Go has three grades, from high to low, it is professional. Amateur level > Amateur level business segment is divided into one to nine segments, marked with Chinese characters (the tenth segment), and the Internet is called P for short. Among them, career nine is the highest stage of Go, and career one is called the primary stage. Modern Japan has emerged? Ten wars? The title of the war, but this is just a title, not an actual paragraph.

At present, there are less than 300 professional players in active service in China. Except for a few world champions, armored players and female players with new potential, they can all earn a good income. Professional player? In order to make a living, most low-level players will choose to enter the university to be special students of Go, or teach chess for a living.

Amateur segments are divided into 1 to 8 segments, marked with Arabic numerals (X segment), and referred to as D online. More than 5 amateur positions are amateur high positions. The level of amateur ability ranges from ordinary amateurs to several amateur strongmen with three major specialties. From the perspective of social groups, low-level amateur chess players are mainly amateurs and students who are interested in training, while high-level amateur chess players are divided into teenagers who are committed to chess (students who specialize in chess) and amateur strongmen (who give up promotion and take part in amateur competitions for a living).

Retired professional chess player (giving up his professional post to become an amateur strongman), 1998, the Chinese chess institute planned to upgrade six stages by upgrading the proportion of six stages, but an amateur six-stage chess player took a placard and protested at the entrance of the chess institute, questioning that the chess institute sacrificed the gold content of six stages in order to increase the income of license fees, and then the plan fell through.

The ranking is not strictly classified, and it is marked with Arabic numerals (X level) on the Internet, abbreviated as K. Contrary to rank, the smaller the ranking number, the higher the ranking, the highest level, and there is no minimum limit. Ability ranges from enlightenment to beginners. The grades are not very meaningful. The general promotion process is 5-2- 1 level, and you can be considered a beginner after level 5. The main content of this stage is to master the rules comprehensively and learn the concepts of basic set and size.
