Thoughts Regarding Komi Tie-Breaker

I also think it’s kind of silly that there are absolutely no ties in go. Particularly since bots seem to have shown that 6.5 (for Japanese counting) / 7.5 (for Chinese counting) is slightly too good for white, while 4.5/5.5* is slightly too good for black. 6/7 seems a natural balanced komi, but this need for no ties in go unnecessarily favors white (currently).

I say let’s have ties in go. :slight_smile: If a tiebreaker is needed, play a blitz game or a 9 x 9 to settle the matter :slight_smile:

*This is the same as 5.5 Japanese / 6.5 Chinese since there are an odd number of points on the board.
