In the paper from Nature (subsection "Features for policy/value network"), authors state: *the stone colour at each intersection was represented as either player or opponent rather than black or white. * Then, I think the AlphaGo algorithm would be fine with a reverse komi. Namely, a human player takes black and has 7.5 komi. The next step is that AlphaGo gives 2 stones of handicap but keeps 7.5 komi (normally you have 0.5). Aja, can you confirm this? > Also having 2 stone games is not so interesting since it would reveal less > insights for even game opening Theory. > I agree with David here, most insights we would get from even games. But we can imagine the following show. Some games are played with a reverse komi, some games would be played with 2 stones (yet, white keeps 7.5 komi) and eventually the main event with normal even games to debunk our myths on the game. Wouldn't be super exciting!? Best regards, Paweł
