games with material handicap
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:32 pm
Here are 2 games when I gave a child at age 8 a big handicap.
In the first one I lost.
In the second one I won.
Note that based on experience with playing with handicap the child is not the weakest player who play chess and I can expect to win against weaker players even when I have only pawns.
