Yes, that's exactly the plan, I will add the
compensation to komi. So you will get:
even game : 7.5 komi
1 stone Handicap : 0.5 komi
2 stone Handicap : 2.5 komi
3 stone Handicap : 3.5 komi
etc.
If your bot sees 2 or more black moves in a row, it knows
it is a handicap game - but it's ok if it doesn't know, it
will still work as is. If your program plays on CGOS now
it will work unmodified if "play" and "genmove" are correctly
implemented.
