Right, I have just noticed today. There are problems though:

- The data are too thin.

- There are too many columns; if one column's rank relates to another column's range of ranks, then it is difficult to state further ranges of ranks in yet other columns without creating very wide ranges.

I don't know my EGF rank, on KGS I should reach 4kyu in a few days.
When I play at my local club I play two Polish EFG 1 dan's with 5 handicap stones and maybe soon this will be lowered to 4.
I also play a EGF 3 kyu with 3 stones.

Don't know if this "data" is of any use, because handpicaps aren't really that "just" or "adequate" IMHO.


Maybe it depends on the proportion of reading/theory understanding a bit. I guess most people are reading more careful face-to-face, so those who rise in KGS ranks mostly thanks to improved reading abilities will have less advantage in face-to-face games :scratch: Of course it can as well go the other way round, I don't really know.
