Capturing races are often referred to as 'semeai'. Also reverse komi is used is used in systems with half ranks, when giving black an extra handicap stone is too much so they just get an extra 6 points (5.5 reverse komi). On IGS going up in half rank differences the komi pattern is 6.5, 0.5, -5.5, 2s 0.5, 2s -5.5, 3s 0.5, 3s -5.5 etc. So in this system going first is valued at 6.5, and each rank = 12 points = one handicap stone.

Wonderful explanations! This is a very awesome video that makes me really think that I can get a handle on this whole Go game.

the Go lesson language is very important. there are too many terminologies that use only pronounciation translation, but not in actual english. it is better to develop a kind if naming convention to use real english to represent everything in this game. for example "compensation" is much better than "komi".

Does black have _.5 when you count points?

Hi, maliximojo: You're thinking of "komi", which is not an actual rule of the game but has become a widely-used convention. Komi points are usually given to White, though; check out part II of the tutorial for a discussion, starting at about 5:00.

In some more advanced handicapping formulas, mostly used in tournaments, it's possible for Black to get the komi instead (called "reverse komi"). You don't usually encounter it outside of a tournament, though.

You have an excellent way to present this information. Go lessons often lack in clear english and/or clear information.
