Hi All,
Keeping with the theme Long Pips players and the small interest TTD membes have in what are the levels of the better players... here is Lee Soo Jin, I think a former natl junior player, now a coach, (and when you are full time coach in anamateur club, you drop from 2550-2600 down to 2350-2400 level pretty quickly) she is playing an exhibition match vs Baek In-Yeop, a Pro Player Div dude (these guys are are mostly the High School trained athletes or an ocasional retired pro). His level is likely around 2550+.
Since Coach Lee dropped a lot of level, she plays Div 1 National for this vid... and Mr. Baek plays MINUS 1 Div. That means there is a 3 pt handicap.
There is SOME serious TT going on, but for the most part, they are showing off more than really playing, which is pretty much what an exhibition match is about, right?
As for levels, Coach is likely 2350-2400 at the time of this vid... a huge drop off from what it takes to be on junior natl team (2550-2600ish)... that doesn't look like a lot of ratings points, but at THAT level, 200 points is pretty much 4 levels. When you stop doing pro training and competing with pros... then do the same ole same ole coaching in amateur club feeding balls 8 hrs a day to beginning players, it can drag you level down a lot... no matter how much you play vs the club ace dude at end of day. Your instincts change when you feed multiball all day long and it affects your play at top levels.
Enjoy.
