What's the difference between 'N.N', in place of the name of a player, and 'beginner'?
Thanks in advance

Hi
In that context, I think it started off as nescio nomen which is Latin for "no name" (It could be thought of as either)
It means that the player's name is not recorded or known, or that they entered the contest not wanting to be identified
They might not be a beginner - they might just not want to be identified. It is very similar to the use of "anon"
