{{Main|Komi (Go)}}
Because Black has the advantage of playing the first move, the idea of awarding White some compensation came into being during the 20th century. This is called [[komidashi|komi]], which gives white a 5.5-point compensation under Japanese rules, 6.5-point under Korean rules, and 15/4 stones, or 7.5-point under Chinese rules (number of points varies by rule set).<ref name="Komi Change">{{cite web|title=A change in Komi|url=http://www.usgo.org/aga-memo-regarding-komi|access-date=31 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221229064855/http://www.usgo.org/aga-memo-regarding-komi|archive-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> Under handicap play, White receives only a 0.5-point komi, to break a possible tie (''jigo'').
