I've never given odds before, but I challenged someone and the computer suggested I give them odds - so I agreed. It took my KR away!
What strategies and tactics apply when playing like this? Avoid exchanges? Seek complications? Seems like a massive imbalance to me, but I know the old masters used to do this too.
What about opening ideas? I decided to go for a solid opening and just control the centre - so far the position is even (apart from me being a rook down, and unable to castle KS!)
