Handicaps and challenge types
When you invite someone or post to the waiting room, you choose a challenge type:
- Proper handicap (the default) — the system sets colour, handicap stones, and komi from both players' ratings for a fair game.
- Conventional handicap — handicap by rating difference, with komi 0.5 when the game isn't even.
- Manual — you choose the colour, handicap, and komi yourself.
