Every move, honestly graded.

You play the dan's moves in complete, fully analyzed games against weaker opponents. Every game is played and analyzed by KataGo's human-style networks at the stated dan and kyu strengths. Each guess is scored by win rate against KataGo analysis — no vague "good move" pats on the head. Your Dan Level % is the share of your moves that held dan strength.

See why the better move wins.

When a weaker player slips, Compare puts you in their shoes and asks for the stronger move — then shows both futures side by side: the game as it went, and the game as it should have gone — unfolded move by move at 5-, 7-, and 9-dan strength.

Earn your way up.

At the moments where a 10-kyu, a 7-kyu, and a 1-kyu would each play a different move, Road to Shodan shows you how the ranks split — and which rank played like you.
