Komi rules

Players must compare their numbers before every match to decide what the komi and handicap settings will be. For example, if Player A's number is +25 and Player B's number is +15, that means that there's a 10 point difference between the two. They would refer to the table and see that the player with the lower number receives 2 stones and gives 1.5 komi.

If Hestler (+10) plays koestl (-11), then koestl takes black and gets 3 stones while giving 0.5 komi.
