To be honest, if there's only 5 minutes, then I probably wouldn't win every time. Lets say we play 100 games, I doubt I'd win 100.

Engines are a lot easier to play at queen odds, because they don't try to make anything complicated. I've beaten stockfish with knight odds tongue.png

A human will do stuff like weird hippo setups and force you to come up with an attack, then before it gets really bad for them they'll sacrifice and make things as crazy as possible.

Not ashamed to say I seriously doubt it.

I believe my chances are around approximately -2 out of 100 in a normal game with Magnus, with queen odds this may rise to approximately 0 out of 10p.
