As far as I know the best programs are still at a kyu level rather then a dan
level.  (1 dan amateur is something like 2000-2100 rating)  FYI There are 20
kyus starting at 20 kyu going down to 1, then 1 dan amateur going up to 5 or 6
dan, then 1 dan professional that goes up to 9 dan.  A one dan professional is
roughly a very strong IM/weak GM.

As to GO Pro II I can beat it and I am 4 Kyu.
