Don't take this the wrong way, but how good are you, i.e. what is your rating?
imo, any reasonably seasoned player, after handicapping their opponent to be without a queen, should be able to easily win in a relatively straightforward by avoiding blunders and trading off pieces.
- YetAnotherNick 5y agoYou underestimate the amount of traps a strong player could have by making the position complex. Hikaru could beat >2000 rated player in queen odds[1]. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo8GOAm1E6c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo8GOAm1E6c
- pharrington 5y agoI wonder how different the results would be if the high skilled players didn't know they were playing against Hikaru.
- eeegnu 5y agoProbably would be the same as playing against alpha zero without knowing and wondering how every good move you play seems to leave you worse off.
