Game review estimated rating for handicap games

Sort:
APDages
Game review estimated rating for handicap games seems broken. It seems to penalise the handicapped player harshly for having missing pieces at move 0. The resulting estimate rating for the handicapped player is quite confusing for the beginners I am trying to teach.

Can you either fix it, or remove the estimated rating for a handicapped player until it is fixed?

Thanks for the feedback! Can you provide an example game?

White begins without Ra1, Nb1
Black wins.
Estimated ratings. White 300. Black 1700.

I really don't think white played that bad, given the handicap.

Black, a beginner, is obviously confused that the analysis thinks they are 1400 points stronger than their teacher.
