But you probably knew that. Playing with piece odds is great fun - I tried this for the first time recently: Because I'm a pitifully weak player I took its Queen to start with - and beat it. I got more of a thrill from that than any amount of "easy" levels - OK so I nobbled it - but it's interesting that even Fritz5 "trying its hardest" couldn't overcome the disadvantage. Much more satisfying than playing an easy level - an opponent that "wasn't trying" if you see what I mean. Anyone who hasn't tried this should give it a go (though if you can play at all, then knight or pawn odds might be more fun for you) - it just "feels different" to the easy levels.
