백단 is a kind of exaggeration to discribe someone's East Asian board game skill level.
This expression is same as 20,000 rate point in chess. Haha.
As you know, a champion of chess competition can read opponents' mind very well.
So if someone's 눈치 is 백단, this one can read other's mind very well like a champion of a chess competition.
