Odds game
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! Here's how you can do it:
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!
