There's a great analog with this in chess as well. ~1200 - omg chess is so amazing and hard. this is great. ~1500 - i'm really starting to get it! i can beat most people i know easily. i love studying this complex game! ~1800 - this game really isn't that hard. i can beat most people at the club without trying. really I think the only thing separating me from Kasparov is just a lot of opening prep and study ~2300 - omg this game is so friggin hard. 2600s are on an entirely different plane, let alone a Kasparov or a Carlsen. Magnus Carlsen - "Wow, I really have no understanding of chess." - Said without irony after playing some game and going over it with a computer on stream. A fairly frequent happening.
