Level on FOX server compared to others

Post by Fllecha »

Hi all,

I couldn't find any subsection of FOX server on L19x19 so I ask here: can you compare FOX ranking to other servers, in particular:

10k FOX----> Dragon Go Server?
5k FOX ----> Dragon Go server?
10K FOX ---> IGS?
5k FOX ----> IGS?
10K FOX----> KGS?
5k FOX-----> KGS?

based on your direct experience if you can.

Thanks
Don't play 1-2-3
Just play 3

Can't speak for lower ranks but 1-2d Fox is about 2-1k KGS.

It may be possible that your psychology plays a role to some minor degree. If you think the tank differs by X, you’ll expect a particular performance Y.

My experience matches that of SoDesuNe, that Fox is about 2 ranks weaker than KGS (I started my Fox account at 5k and am now 1d). This could be more or less depending how you are able to deal with different styles of play; KGS players are much more "proper", so if you come from there you may find that your opponents are significantly worse at strategy and better at close combat than the ones you are used to.

I am currently: 2k Fox, 4k KGS, 6k IGS (not very reliable since last time I played I had 7 wins in a row), 5k on OGS (maybe not very reliable since I haven't played many rated games recently). I don't use DGS.

P.S. You may want to have a look at this table:

The most recent rank comparison survey I know of can be found here:
https://idex.github.io/go-rank-survey/g ... mean-ranks

It seems pretty accurate to me. My own ranks are:
OGS: 4k
KGS and IGS: 3k
Fox: 1k
Tygem: 2d
