Can someone tell me how to set up a pgn where a player has given odds?
[ pgn]
[FEN "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/1NBQKBNR w"]
1.e4
[ /pgn]
Remove spaces in the tags to get:
[FEN "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/1NBQKBNR w"]
1.e4
Thanks.
Here is a rather embarrassing game. Me as white giving queen and rook odds against a beginner. Also I was trying to move in 10 seconds or less (the explanation for some of my blunders as I am poor even at classic time controls), whereas my opponent had as much time as they wanted.

Hi Z.
Well I'm not to sure what your pal learned from that but
one day he may be a very strong a player and this game is on record
so some enterprising journalist will find it and publish it.
I bet we are all glad our earliest games were not recorded.
My Dad, who was not bad' 1500ish' told me years later that on
our 4th or 5th game after learning the moves as Black I played
1.e4 h5 to stop his Queen from going to h5 and mating me.
(my first trap!!) 🙂
Anyway Z just wanted to point out in case you do this again
and did not know.
If you give Rook odds you can still castle even though the Rook
is not there. So you could have castled Queenside if you wished.
Played again, this time me as black. Trying out annotations.
