What follows is a section with the Game settings or Probable game settings: - The section "Probable game settings" contains a probable handicap calculus according to your current rating. It's called probable, because a lot of things can happen while you are just reading it, e.g. the rating of the user can be changed, which also changes the calculated settings.
- Color: The color field may contain a nice image indicating which color you get in the game:
: you get White color
: you get Black color
(yin-yang symbol) : your color is chosen by random indicating an even or handicap game with nigiri
+ : double game, you get one game with White and one with Black color
