Any progress on this request. I think Reverse Komi is a much more elegant form of handicap to placing stones because games are still played using normal tactics as equal games to start, but the high ranked player must play more aggressively to make up the missing stones.
Please consider adding this as a normal “game request” option.
The table is based off of games played here, IIRC. Crunch away, but it seems fairly accurate based one test games I’ve played against various opponents.
I am super interested in this as a topic of research in the Go community. And I think OGS is the only place where it would be possible to do such research. It may very well be the case that reverse komi is a superior way to do a handicap system!!! So hopefully this can happen so that we might be able to find out.
you could go by difference in result (without komi) based on difference in elo. See if there’s a correlation. Or maybe a correlation between Aavgrank+Bdiffrank and pointsresult
Polls are good! But I am thinking more statistical analysis based on scores from games played. In which case, go servers would make the most sense, and or course OGS has the best capabilities for such analysis (that I know of).
