Been watching GM Hikaru's new series where he gives away the queen right at the start against lower rated players and wins effortlessly anyways and I had a thought.
"Man, I do wonder how I'd fair against Hikaru with those odds. Shame it's so difficult to get on a match with him. Wait... What if they made a bot for that?"
Basically, the bot would be hardwired to force you to take its queen around the first 5 moves max, regardless of the opening. Then after that, all of its play would be pretty much the best engine moves all throughout.
I think this could be fun or at least interesting both for beginners and experts alike, since it provides not only an appealing challenge for less experienced players and an unusual test in accuracy for more adept players.
