Bill: But when Black wins the ko he gets only 6 points in one net play. (To get the count we consider that White plays with sente.)
Bill: If Black plays first he gets 7 points in one net play.
Bill: That means that this is a 6 point sente for White (7 - 1). And that mean that if White makes the play at the normal time, Black should not make the ko, even if he is komaster, because then he just gives up 1 point. However, if the ambient temperature is less than 5, so that White's compensation for losing the ko is less than 5 points per move, and Black is komaster, he should make the ko.
