Knight odds - WOW. Thats either amazing confidence or stupidity. Wasn't Morphy known for doing that?
Just looked it up and he gave Staunton pawn and move odds. He did give knight odds to an American named James Thompson (supposedly a top 12 American at the time)

The "wow" doesn't sound very arrogant to me. Isn't the original post more arrogant?
I played some games with flexmore giving me knight odds and I don't see why it's a stupid thing.
On top of that set piece games are unrated,so I don't see where the problem is.

Flexmore is well known (or should be) for wanting to play set piece games like this, and offers odds based on the ranking of his opponent.
So would everybody stop carrying on about 'arrogance' and just address the original post?
... but ...
... i just revived my old thread - in the opponents forum ....
TRACK is a 2200 player - rook odds is fair ... with knight odds i should be the underdog ... TRACK is the favourite here ....
but do not fear - i have a lot of tricks ready (for someone of my rating) 😀
Originally posted by orfeoI was unaware he did this. I also don't see how my post was arrogant. My 'wow' was because I found Trackheads gift of a night arrogant.
