when im playing with my coach (2300 elo) i can sometimes beat him 10 min vs 30 secs (otb)
How much "handicap" could a GM take and still beat an intermediate player?
Sort:
Do players ever sacrifice pieces as a handicap (e.g., stronger player starting without Queen's bishop) or is it always just time?

piece handicaps are more often but stupider imo. a couple of days ago hikaru nakamura was playing 2 pawn odds against a new komodo computer
How severely could a GM handicap themselves and still reliably beat an intermediate player?
For example, would you expect a GM to easily beat an intermediate player if the GM played without their queen? What if they started without a queen and bishop? At what point would an intermediate player have such a material advantage that the GM's knowledge on logistics and tactics wouldn't be sufficient for them to win?
In short, how many pieces would Magnus have to forfeit for me to be able to beat him?
