You start with a piece handicap. It's interesting for both because it makes it competitive, but also completely destroys the better player's knowledge base because they're missing important pieces, making it more about intuition.

I play this way with a friend that I'm like a thousand points higher rated than. With a rook+knight handicap, it's very competitive, we probably each win about half the time.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
