Reverse Komi / Discussion

Sub-page of ReverseKomi

Meta: Maybe I was too wiki (in creating the NegativeKomi page). Didn't yet know about alias pages - thanks, Charles. You got my intention, but after I slept over it, I'm not sure if alias (in the is same sense) is appropriate any more (not meaning to change it). The reason is because reverse komi is sort of a unit or compound term (e.g. 5 points reverse komi = -5 points komi), whereas negative is an adjective about komi without changing its modus operandi (e.g. the komi is negative = Black gives negative points). To try to bring it to the point, reverse komi always is given by White - but nothing is said about its sign ("+" being intended, of course) - whereas negative komi is given by Black - as komi always is - and happens to be negative. That's why I fuzzed around again. Hope the confusion is complete now. :-)

Charles Almost: I think if many people used this I style confusion would become complete. Welcome, anyway. Minor editing, including copy-editing, tends to happen here without notice - this implies no criticism, of course. Very little is deleted, though. We like contributions to be signed: one good reason is that home pages usually give a grade.

Robert Pauli: Charles, you made a great job!
