Check acceptance for a challenge game with handicap

Wasn’t small board komi fixed at some point?

Proposal: Redesign small board komi and handicap

This proposal is three-fold: Adopt new stone/komi formulas for small boards. Include komi and board size in ratings evaluations after game result. Expose “handicap rank difference” in the small board challenge interface. But first, some background. 0. Background: Description of current system The existing komi system for small boards on OGS uses the “old Japanese” recommendations for komi (see Sensei’s library) regardless of ruleset. It has some flaws: For even games, komi should match 19…

But I agree, komi shouldn’t really be warned on if it’s standard/fair by some other official definition.

For example, if we assume fair komi is 7.0 on some board, and OGS standardizes 6.5, I think a custom 7.5 game is equally valid and playable. Hardly equivalent to a komi = 100 game which should be warned on.
