From: George Jost SYMPATICO CA> Date: 4 nov 1998 Subject: Time handicaps ... Recently we have been experimenting with time handicaps using standard western chess clocks. This has seemed to lead to some exciting games. For example I have had been 15-20 minutes on my clock to 5 minutes on my dan friends clock. This has lead to some pretty hairy games. Have any of you tried this idea? We found a variety between timed and pieces handicap games between largely unequal players to be most fun. George Ottawa Shogi Club, Mondays at
