Here is my proposed order, please add to the list and rearrange the order as you see fit ...... I am especially interested in the pawn odds games and where they fit

Queen Odds
Rook Odds
Knight Odds
Bishop Odds
Pawn Odds (which pawn(s)?)
No Castling Odds


- oops wrong forum again i guess, feel free to move it around, perhaps give it a day or two here, next it could go to the debates forum, then maybe the chess forum for burial.

I would switch the order of bisjops odds vs. knights odds, just because a bishop is more often than not, a bit superior to a knight. And the "two bishops" advantage is a pretty coveted one in grandmaster circles.

when i have played bishop odds - against players with less strategic knowledge than me of course, i simple exchange our two like coloured bishops, then clog up the other colour with the opponents pawns and also to a lesser extent, my pawns.
i find knight odds not so convenient.
