komi



Usage: komi <value>

   'komi' is used to set the komi value for a game. 

      a) The default komi value for even games (games between players of 
         the _SAME_ ranks/ratings) is 5.5
      b) The default komi value for uneven games (games between players 
         of _DIFFERENT_ ranks/ratings) and handicaps games is 0.5  

   If the players wish to change the komi value, they must change the
   komi _before_ the first move. One player enters the 'komi' value, then
   a message is sent to both players informing them of the 'komi' value
   requested. The second player must enter the same 'komi' value.

     For example, one player enters:   komi 6.5
     If the second player agrees, then the second player enters:  komi 6.5
     IGS will then change the value of the 'komi' to 6.5

   The value is allowed to be negative.   Example:   komi -4
   For "GOE" games, the default komi is 8.0.
