It certainly is possible, but I'm not sure that anyone has demonstrated that it's true.moha wrote:Otherwise common sense would predict 7.5 is worse: correct komi is 7 and it is better to let B win ties than W, since practical players are not close to correct/perfect play thus need slightly less komi.
Reading this, it just occurred to me to wonder if we could analyze training data for AI to test this idea.
