Features: Chess players are divided into professional and amateur categories. If one does not reach the level of a professional beginner, they cannot be considered a professional player. Amateur players who do not reach the level of an amateur beginner are still referred to as amateur players. The criteria for measuring the skill level of amateur players are dan (rank) and kyu (grade). High-level players are ranked by dan, while low-level players are ranked by kyu. This book, when grading Go enthusiasts based on different skill levels, takes the premise of dividing them into ten levels.
