Reading vs Reading.

Nitpick

you have to imagine the second one being a visualisation of reading, hence the faint stones.

My girlfriend made the cookies in the top-left corner last year. Delicious.

For the last one, in Chinese rules though (at least on OGS) white gets a point for each handicap stone to balance out the fact that each stone is a point for the opponent as well as the handicap of having the stones. So in case that it shouldnā€™t really matter which rules are used. Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s standard practice though across other servers is it? I couldnā€™t find it written down at least from a quick search.

Edit:
KGS does it too though: KGS: Rules Sets

The white player is given one point extra komi for every handicap stone that Black gets at the start of the game. Free placement of Handicap Stones is used.

It was a 7 stone handicap with 6.0 komi for White (auto set up by the rating difference), so the game is already over with W+11, but still, that first line move.

It seems handicap isnā€™t even mentioned in the official Chinese tournament ruleset (or at least I could only check the translation)ā€¦

In AGA rules there is explicitly mentioned to be no compensation, as komi is 0.5 for handicap games, in case that the players use territory counting to determine the score, and to be a point compensation for each handicap stone, in case that the players use area counting to determine the score (since these are equivalent in AGA rules, due to the white passing stone at the end).

I donā€™t believe Ing rules mentions anything about compensation per handicap stone.

NZ rules explicitly state that there is 0 komi in handicap games.

Iā€™m thinking it would be useful to transcribe memes for better searchability
