For those wondering about komi:

Standard komi is 6.5 points under the Japanese and Korean rules; under Chinese, Ing and AGA rules standard komi is 7.5 points

Really? I thought it was 5.5 back when I played go. I thought 5.5 was fair, so maybe he's right that 6.5 is too generous.

But of course the increase to 6.5 was done for good reasons. Perhaps the strategies for white just suit Ke Jie's style slightly better.


That's what I remembered it as, but it's been a while.
