BQM 67: Fair komi adjustment to board size?How should fair (e.g. 6.5 points) komi for 19x19 games be adjusted to non-19x19 games?
Bill: Komi depends on board size. Nico: I have not found anything satisfactory regarding this issue on SL. Please can someone come up with a more definite answer to this question, especially for 9x9 and 13x13 boards ? Charles Komi obviously does depend on the size of the board, for very small boards. I don't feel that it can differ much between 13x13 and 19x19 (some discussion at handicap for smaller board sizes which explains why I think that); but if someone told me that there are 13x13 go hustlers who can take Black and give 10 komi then I wouldn't be really surprised. My idea of the graph of komi against board size N is that it decreases rapidly when N is small, is effectively flat from 13x13 to 19x19, and is probably a little less for N very large. But who knows?
