In January 2011, I took a poll on what komi to use for 9x9 bot
tournaments on KGS. There was a majority in favour of changing from
7.5 to 7.
During Sunday's 13x13 KGS bot tour, someone suggested also changing
the 13x13 komi from 7.5 to 7. The main argument for changing must
be that 7.5 favours White. So here are the statistics from recent
KGS 13x13 bot tournaments:
White Black
wins wins
2014 August 13 9
April 36 27
2103 December 12 18
April 28 20
TOTALS 89 74
I am inclined to think there is not a convincing reason to change.
But I will welcome persuasion; or better, more statistics.
