Exactly. And the "rusty" factor in Go is notorious. We play by handicap stones, and if you're rusty enough, you can lose 9 stones (basically a 9 moves in a row handicap... not quite but close enough) . It took me years to get to the 2-3kyu rank, but now I'm probably closer to 9-10kyu if I'm being honest. SO imagine me playing against someone and THEM getting a handicap when I should have 6 or 7 full turns of handicap.
I miss Go, but I just don't have the time anymore to dedicate to it.
