What is the meaning of it?

Do you say that humans who do not know chess and go need the same time to get
1500 in chess and top program level in go?

If you take kasparov (rating close to 2800)
take a human that is losing 3-1 against kasparov(elo 2600) and continue in this
way you will have 6 humans in the list with the following ratings:
2600
2400
2200
2000
1800
1600

only the next human is going to be weaker than 1500

suppose you take the best go player
how many humans you can find in the same way in order to get someone who is
weaker than the best chess go program?

Is it the same number of humans?
