Hi, you seem to know a bit about Go so I thought I'd ask you via pm. I assume that the amount of extra points given to white in different countries is also affected largely by tradition and other factors. So I wonder if anyone has statistically tried to work out the "correct" number of points mathematically? At the very least, for Go its somewhat easier than a FG, since you can just get two players to swap sides every match when collecting your data. (since players are expected to be able to play either colour). edit: hah, never mind, wikipedia Heh, it would seem that the different values in different countries also happen because their scoring rules differ. Its interesting that Go, poker, and other boardgames are heavily researched from a scientific and statistical perspective, and the Komi value seems to have been progressively adjusted over time in response to tournament results - exactly what I was talking about!
