You are right, and I did not state clearly what I had in mind:
play on small boards (like 9x9 or even 7x7). Especially,
there Seki situations are (much) more frequent than on
larger boards.
Concerning the next Computer Olympiad and having in mind
the discussion on the last one ("how fair is 7.5 komi for
9x9 computer games?") the WMSG scoring should be worth
to be discussed for 9x9.
