Rules
ilan: Don't you mean komi = 6.5. This has been the standard komi for the last few years. Also, it seems to me that the time control is slow. Usually, 9x9 is a speed game, maximum time 10 minutes with a couple of 30 second periods. Firefox04: I am not quite sure. I feel that 6.5 is too much for a 9x9 game due to the size of the board.However, I agree with you on the time. 10 minutes seem reasonable.
ilan: Your incorrect feeling for the game should not be the basis for your tournament rules. Professional players have been using 6.5 komi for 9x9 for at least 5 years. See the games at Niklaus: Interestingly, the value of komi does not change that much for different board sizes (except for boards 5x5 and smaller, where playing the first move enables one to kill all opponent stones). The fact that there is not much space on a 9x9 board makes the first move all the more valuable. See also Handicap For Smaller Board Sizes Firefox04: I have changed the komi. Thankyou both for pointing this out. Students' League
