FYI, here is a link and the relevant quotes for the way KGS gives white extra komi based on handicap stones in some rules.
http://www.gokgs.com/help/rulesets.html Chinese - "The white player is given one point extra komi for every handicap stone that Black gets at the start of the game." AGA - "...the white player is given one point of extra komi for all but the first handicap stone that Black gets at the start of the game" New Zealand - "New Zealand rules are like Chinese rules except that playing a multi-stone suicide move is allowed." (I assume this means New Zealand also includes extra komi for handicap stones). _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
