The post-70s generation learns Go thanks to the great victory of the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament. At that time, Nie Weiping's nine-section performance in the first three competitions was really crazy. He was, so to speak, a hero of our generation.
However, since there was no online platform at the time, most people who learned chess just bought books and magazines to learn Xi. Usually, I can only compete with people of the same level around me. Therefore, after a long time, there will be a relatively large deviation in the perception of one's own level. The most typical cognitive bias is that he thinks that he has learned Go for 3 or 5 years, and his level is already very high, "Nie Weiping can't let me Jiuzi when he comes".
To be honest, in general, if someone says something like this, it can basically be judged as follows.
First, this person must not have played with a Go master, even an amateur master. Because only people who have not played with the master will be confused by their own level and lack the necessary cognition.
Second, as long as it is a person who says such things, don't say that Nie Weiping is nine duan, even if he is an amateur master, he can let him have nine sons, and there is even a high probability that he will kill him all over the world. The rationale is referred to in point 3.
Thirdly, if his level can reach the amateur two or three dan or even higher, he will never say such a thing. At that time, he should have a more obvious understanding of the gap between his level and that of amateur masters and professional masters. He may say that Nie Weiping may not let me move five sons, and even say six seeds if there is room for it. (When I say amateur two-and-three dan level here, I mean the level of two or three dan in the big cities twenty or thirty years ago.) Now there is a lot of water in the two or three sections, which is not in this range. ）
Fourth, there is another interesting phenomenon. The level is relatively low, and he likes to be conceded by the master less, so as to prove that his level is good. And when the real master (amateur master, professional master) and the player play chess, they also like to give up less ideas.
If you look at the professional chess players in Japan who play chess with the big boss, they can only let 9 discs, but only allow 5 or 6 discs, and occasionally lose two games. When reviewing the game, sigh that your chess has risen again recently. So the boss is happy, and his money bag is happy.
There are also cases of playing chess with hands and hands, and making more handicaps. It's usually for fame and fortune. There is no special reason, who wants to make themselves tired by giving up more children?
It can be seen from this that people who have learned Go for three or five years must be careful when they speak, because they lack the awareness of their own strength, and they may say some ridiculous and generous words. This is true of Go, and the same is true for other fields.
