Is it possible to set up a game being down a piece?

I would like to know ( if possible) can I start a game being down a piece in daily play in order to even the odds? Kind of like a handicap in golf I suppose.

Wow, thanks for the post! This looks really interesting, going to give it a try. Thank you and chess.com! I don’t see it on the app yet, do you know if it will be soon?

The apps lag the site by a bit, so it may be a while if it is going to happen. The beta for the website has Live odds play against friends.

Awesome, started one on the site. It shows on the app to play, just can’t initiate one on the app. This is a very nice new feature. Thank you chess.com! And to @manekapa and @martin_stahl for guiding me in!
