I second your posting! I think that everyone interested in komi at OGS should read Komi needs correction on 9 x 9 . The statements made in that posting are in accord with my experience playing many 9x9 games here with automatic or standard komi, whatever it is called. It is far easier to win as white, which is unfortunate for all the beginners who feel more comfortable as black, thinking that moving first gives them an advantage!
