But that should not be a problem, as long as the operators do not believe in the final verdict of KGS. > I think with komi = 7.5 white > is scoring very high (too high?) in the top games. I made a count for the 9x9-competition in Beijing (komi=7.5: Looking only at games among the top 5 rankers there are 20 games so far (including two tiebreak-games) with 15 wins for White and 5 Wins for Black. Looking at all games among the top 7 rankers there are 40 games (including two tiebrak-games) with 27 : 13 for White. Taking all 164 games of the tournament (including two tiebrak games) White is ahead by 93:71. It is probably not an accident that the quota decrease with decreasing playing strength: 15/20 > 27/40 > 93/164 or translated to decimals 0.75 > 0.675 > 0.567. However, when B+7 is the correct value on 9x9, komi=6.5 might lead into similar problems. Ingo. -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
