According to Larry if I remember right the rook pawn is only worth .85 x 200 or 170 points. That's not enough. Larry also said that Knight odds would be worth 700 points ??? I don't believe a 2175 player with knight odds would stand a chance against Garry K. I ran some test years ago with computers giving queen Knight odds and it seems it was worth about 300 points. So my opinion is Hiarcs would not have much of a chance. Jim Walker
