i was wondering, if you're only counting one side, under Chinese rules you need 181 points. but what do you do about komi, is it 3.5?
or still 7.5? it would seem to me it still should be 7.5, so black would actually need 188.5 or white 181.5 including komi.

If black wins by 7 on the board then the score is 184-177. So black is only 3.5 above half the board and Chinese komi would be 3.5. To avoid a jigo 3.75 can be used, which result in the normal half point win.

A Chinese half counting komi is half a full counting komi, so 7.5 in full counting becomes 3.75 in half counting.
