「守りが甘い[上手]{うわて}」…どういう意味ですか？

> "If you play this stronger player for whom 'protection is sweet' you will be

is my best attempt to understand. The context in which this happens is the
teacher of this go club sits down next to this group of first years to play
the strongest arrival to his go club, a first year who is in fact at a
professional level and should not be there. This teacher is making an offhand
comment to Uno and the other first years sitting nearby. If necessary [here is
the panel just before this](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3Ei8A.png).

So far I am getting the sense that が甘い can mean is relaxed and so on from the
entries at
[eow.alc.co.jp](https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%8C%E7%94%98%E3%81%84),
so perhaps "player for whom defense is easy?" but I am not sure.




I think this is 2 sentences really: 守りが甘い and 上手と打つとやられるぞ.

甘い here means not good enough/insufficient, in other words her defense is not
enough. The second sentence then states that if she were to play a strong
opponent, she would be done for.
