Here's what I'd like to do -
Challenge a friend to a game. She has a new account, so her rating isn't correct. I would estimate she's around 500-600. I go to create a challenge - I want to give her knight odds, so I'd like to be missing my g1 knight, but I can only select autobalance when I am creating non-daily games, and since her rating is wrong it doesn't work.
I would also like to give her time odds of 10 minutes to 90 seconds with a 2 second increment.
All of these functionalities exist, but there is no way for me to make this unrated challenge the way I want to, and I just don't understand why.
Why can't I make a completely custom game on this website? All of the functionality exists for custom time odds and custom positions. All I want to do is create a custom game with time and piece odds so I can play a balanced game with a friend, but I can't make a challenge with the time odds I want. I go to make an odds game, but I can't set the color of pieces for each player.
All of the functionality already exists! You can even see chess streamers use it!
