There is a handicap system in go. Jaro is 7 kyu and I'm 3 dan so I normally give him a nine stone handicap. If the handicap is right, the winning probability of either player should be 50 percent. Jaro has been on a winning streak lately. Markus, 1 kyu, whose skills are perhaps at a strong 1 dan level, started a game against Jaro the other day, giving him the usual handicap and brimming with confidence, believing that he had got stronger during his hiatus. Jaro put that sentiment to rest.
