For example, Andy, while very strong and can beat many pros who dont compete anymore, would still likely take at least black from an active pro. When Andy goes to the Korean go clubs in New York, the strongest players refuse to play for money unless they are taking at least a no komi handicap. From this we can deduce that they are at least 2 stones away from a pro.
I bet if we could get Andy (and any of our other strong amateurs) into a full time pro circuit, he'd jump up in strength in no time and be able to compete with them.
That's one thing we're lacking still, a strong "pro" player base for competition to help our strong players continue to improve.
Once every 5 years to the WAGC just ain't going to be enough.
