Just had novel experience – accepted a challenge from an anonymous guest player on Chess.com 14day / move would be white ( unrated ) & when I went to play my first move , found I don’t have a queen !!! This guest rates themselves as 400 , so….. 🤔

So the game had a handicap? Did you continue the game or abandon it?

@tedsmith919gmail-com I’m going to play it , even if it is 14days per move – never played an odds game before , might teach me a thing or two 🤣 . I’m assuming that Chess.com automatically set the odds based on the rating difference . Have in the past set up games with friends & Chess.com have suggested odds games if there is a ” sufficient ” rating difference in their eyes . Never done it though . See what happens – could be a very long game 😵💫 .

@tedsmith919gmail-com hi Edward , just to update you , my opponent didn’t make a a move in the 14 days , so the game has just been abandoned !! ( maybe didn’t like to play from a queen advantage ?? ) Still practiced playing against the bots as white with the same queen odds – found Nelson too strong – beat the bots up to 1300 though , which was an interesting exercise 😱
