I don't care for "student" for a level below intermediate.
It's common to hear someone described as a "student of the game",
and such players are usually at least strong intermediates.
"Amateur" also doesn't have the right meaning to me.
Said with the right tone "amateur" can indicate a low
level of play, but to me the primary meaning is
non-professional, which is almost everyone who plays
backgammon, including most experts.
I like everything else, including the "outsider" rookie.
