A Go professional is a professional player of the game of Go. The minimum standard to acquire a through one of the major Go organisations is very high. The competition is tremendous, and prize incentives for champion players are very large. For example, the Honinbo Tournament has a grand prize of about $350,000. There have also been professional Go players from the West competing in East Asian professional associations, specifically Romania, Austria, Germany, Russia, Hungary, Australia, Finland and the United States of America.

  • A Go professional is a professional player of the game of Go. The minimum standard to acquire a through one of the major Go organisations is very high. The competition is tremendous, and prize incentives for champion players are very large. For example, the Honinbo Tournament has a grand prize of about $350,000. Almost all professional players are from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. This is because until recently, only China (China Qiyuan), Japan (Nihon Ki-in, Kansai Ki-in), South Korea (Korea Baduk Association (Hanguk Gi-Won)), and Taiwan (Taiwan Chi Yuan Culture Foundation) had professional Go organizations. In 2012, the AGA Professional System was established in the United States. In 2014, the EGF professional system was established in Europe. Professional rankings are separate from the amateur ratings (usually 30-kyu through 7-dan). Professional rankings are 1-dan through 9-dan (sometimes written 1p through 9p). In the past, a 1-dan professional was roughly equal to a (European) 7-dan amateur. However, since the competition to become a professional has increased since the late-1990s (particularly in China and Korea), it has become the case that new 1-dan professionals are much stronger than they usually were in the past. There have also been professional Go players from the West competing in East Asian professional associations, specifically Romania, Austria, Germany, Russia, Hungary, Australia, Finland and the United States of America. AI programs such as AlphaZero and Leela Zero can now play at a far higher level than any human can; former top player Lee Sedol said he had decided to retire after realising this: "I'm not at the top even if I become the number one."

  • Un joueur de go professionnel est un professionnel appartenant à une fédération de joueurs payés pour jouer et enseigner le go. Le niveau requis pour devenir professionnel est extrêmement élevé, et seuls quelques joueurs par an parviennent à devenir professionnels. Il existe actuellement six fédérations de professionnels : la Nihon Ki-in et la Kansai Ki-in au Japon, la Zhongguo Qiyuan en Chine, la Hanguk Kiwon en Corée du Sud la Taiwan Qiyuan à Taïwan, et la Fédération européenne de go en Europe. La quasi-totalité des professionnels actuellement en activité sont d'origine japonaise, chinoise, coréenne ou taïwanaise, à l'exception d'une poignée de joueurs d'origine russe, européenne ou américaine. Le rang des joueurs professionnels est séparé de celui des joueurs amateurs, et s'étend de 1er dan à 9e dan [1p…9p] (le rang des joueurs amateurs s'étend en général de 20 kyu [20k] à 7e dan [7d]). Le plus fort niveau amateur correspond grossièrement au plus faible niveau professionnel, si bien qu'on peut considérer qu'un 7e dan [7d] européen amateur est proche du niveau d'un 1er dan [1p] professionnel. Note : Pour ne pas confondre les rangs professionnels avec les rangs amateurs, il est d'usage de noter les rangs amateurs avec un d (5d signifiant 5e dan amateur), et les rangs professionnels avec un p (5p signifiant 5e dan professionnel).
