Yes, using komi would help a lot. Still, I feel that something else must be wrong, because winning 100% of the games as Black without komi should be very easy on 7x7.
I have not written anything about what I did with Crazy Stone. But my experiments and ideas were really very similar to what David Wu did: https://blog.janestreet.com/accelerating-self-play-learning-in-go/ To clarify what I wrote in my previous message: "strong from scratch in a single day" was for 7x7. I like testing new ideas with small networks on small boards, because training is very fast, and what works on small boards with small networks usually also works on large boards with big networks.
