HeadStarttype

A start given to one colour — the weaker player's — before the game is even.

freeTurns: turns this colour takes at the start with nothing played between them, 0 to 3. Each is recorded as the other colour's pass, so a replay reaches the same position from the move list alone. traditional: how much of the game's own traditional head start this colour is given — handicap stones, corners, or the other side's men taken off — as its spec's headStart names; 0 for none. See rules/headStart.ts.

The opposite colour from a handicap's, by nature: a handicap makes the stronger side's game harder, a head start makes the weaker side's easier.
