On OGS, we used /3 of 13x13 and /6 for 9x9 boards, and that seems to work really pretty well. Is there any chance of something similar on Kaya?

Handicap stones
Logging on (and having fun playing Fuego with 7 stones), I noticed that you have 1 handicap stone for rank, regardless of board size. Playing Gnugo with 6 stones is fine, but on a 9x9 board that's going to be tricky

I think I did
Re: Handicap stones
The handicap only applies to 19x19 currently. Even though it displays 7 stones on 9x9. In reality it will be an even game when the game starts.
