Having one stone handicap should be to normally play as Black (with no komi). It's a bit confusing compared to other games, since Black's first move is just to place its handicap stones, so a `n' stone handicap actually means just `n-1' extra stones for Black compared to a non-handicap game. Also, only with 2 or more handicap stones traditional fixed positions for handicap placement are used (at least, under Japanese rules), so it makes sense to have them preset, while a 1 handicap stone (i.e. a normal Black's first move) can be freely placed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
