I'll take a final poll - speak now or forever hold your peace!
Should we:
1. Give white N-1 stones at end of game. (where N = handicap)
2. Give white N stones at end of game. (N = handicap)
3. Give white N stones except handicap 1 case.
4. Not worry about giving white anything but the appropriate
handicap stones.
Option 4 seems a lot cleaner and is WYSIWYG at end of game along
with komi of course.
I vote for 2 because that is what KGS does, and that is how I have
implemented handicap in my program.
It has already been said already, but I insist: what we need is a GTP
command to tell the program what are the rules of the game. I would be
glad to implement such a command, and would not care about the
compensation method, then.
