If you're playing with a friend who is much stronger or weaker than you, playing a balanced or odds game can make it more enjoyable for both players!

How to set up an Odds game

  • Hover over 'Play' in the left side menu and click 'Play'.

    • Alternatively, you can click on 'New Game' from the homescreen

  • Select 'Custom.'

  • Click 'Random' to choose your opponent from a list of recent opponents or type in the username of the player you want to challenge

  • Click on 'Standard' and then choose 'Custom Position / Odds' from the dropdown menu

  • Choose the type of odds you want to play. By default, it's set to 'Auto Balance' which adjusts based on the rating difference.

  • Once you've made your selection, click 'Play' to send your challenge!

Keep in mind

  • To play an odds game, your opponent must be on your friend list - you cannot play against a random member
