Roln111 is still 8-dan, even after winning 14 rated games straight!
According to his ranking graph, Ilya is very close to 9d, he needs few more wins to reach it. Any way, the road from 8d to 9d on KGS is so far! I am sure that with his recent score it was possible to reach 9-dan on all other Go servers.
Here is the last game he won (on 2 stones) . He did not even try to trick his opponent in fuseki. White played so solidly! He was ahead on territory till the end, when Black made things easier and missed the atari.
