How to play Handicap Chess (Odds Chess)

Um Well , I don't think that's the current position because it didn't move the pond forward .

But good try .

It wants to play E five .

All right .

Let's see what happens .

Martin's gonna play a four .

Wow .

A four .

The position is , this is new .

I don't think it used to say this .

Oh , it's calculating the position .

Let's see what we're gonna get .

Uh-huh .

Uh-huh .

It's , I mean , it's trying .

00 , wait a second .

It got a four there .

It did get a four .

Ok .

But it's playing valid moves .

So we , we'll just keep going , we'll just keep going with it .

What's Martin gonna do ?

D 4 , 3d 4 solid move there .

Martin Martin's been learning , he's been practicing GP T is calculating the position again .

I feel like this is a new feature because I played it before and I didn't use to do this .

It's got some ponds up there , but it's , it's also OK .

E takes C four .

All right .

What's Martin gonna do ?

He recaptures ?

He takes D four .

It's really gonna do it every move .

OK ?

And it , it's not moving any of those pieces and it's just got that one random pawn that's , that's moving right to C six though .

Valid move .

OK .

What's Martin gonna do ?

C 35 , C three ?

I mean , it's trying , it's playing , it's playing good moves though .

D five .

OK .

How's Martin gonna respond ?

G 36 G three ?

And here we go again .

Interesting strategy that Martin's going for this game .

Only pawn moves so far .

I feel like that's unlike uh I feel like that's uh uncharacteristic for Martin bishop G four .

Very aggressive move ?

How is Martin going to respond ?

F four ?

You don't need to install anything on your computer .

You have two options .

You got Le Chest and you have chess dot com .

Let's go ahead and take a look at exactly how to do this .

All right guys .

So like I mentioned , you have two options .

You have chess dot com .

You also have Lee chess .

We're gonna start with chess dot com and then we'll jump over to Lee Chest .

Basically the same thing .

They just look a little bit different , feel a little bit different and so you can choose whichever one you prefer .

Now , first thing you're gonna gonna wanna do is go to chess dot com forward slash analysis and it'll take you to this page right here .

You could also just go straight to chess dot com home and then you can go to learn and then analysis either way you end up at the same place right here .

Now , the first thing I want you to notice I am not logged in so you don't need an account to do that uh to do this , it's completely free .

And as soon as I start moving a piece , check this out up here at the top , right , we can see it starts to analyze the position and it's telling me what the best move is .

Right ?

It's actually telling me the top three best moves and you can tweak this , which we'll talk about in just a second .

But this is really useful if you're trying to , you know , maybe you're analyzing one of your games .

You played a bad move .

You're wondering why it's a bad move as Stockfish will tell you , oh , look at that .

B takes a six .

Also saying F five is a really good move for black , which is interesting .

I wouldn't have thought that .

But uh you get the idea right ?

You can analyze your games , uh and go from here .

Now , a cool thing that you can also do if you click down here at the bottom , right where it says set up position , my face cam is almost covering it but not quite .

You can actually go directly to a custom position .

So now I'm gonna actually go ahead and move my face over here .

All right .

So what you can do is first of all this button right here , reset board will take you right to the start of the , the game and then you can tweak things as you , you know , as you want .

Like let's say you were looking at a king's Indian position and you had a question about something , you know , you could set up whatever the position was .

I don't know , something like this .

And then you can analyze it or you can clear the board .

So you click the little trash can .

And let's say you're looking at an end game , you can set up something like this .
