You would probably prefer the game Shooting Fish in a Barrel over the game Chess. Winning half the time is better because each of those wins means far far more than winning against bad players. Playing down is only fun for insecure, unambitious people. If winning is the fun part, just cheat, don't seek out bad players to play against. Playing against bad players makes you bad at chess.
