It depends very much on what exactly you mean by "amateur master
level". Is it a level that compares to amateur master level in chess?
And what is amateur master level in chess? USCF master, FIDE master
or international master?
Some time ago I participated in a discussion about comparing chess
titles to go ranks by evaluating effort, prestige and other factors
[1].
In my opinion:
1: USCF master compares to about 4d
2: FIDE master compares to about 6d
3: International master compares to about 7d/1p
I suggest to overlay the histrograms of player ratings and shift one
along the x-axis until the mode (peak in the distribution) are at the
same point. From that it should be easy to compare chess ELO
ratings with go ratings (or ranks).
