Thank you for the link. I was unaware of the handicap system. Although I think this is a novel approach because you don't need to first rank the players, both players are equally disadvantaged.

In theory, I still bet that a strong player would win regardless of which pieces are on the board.

It gets rough when you're down a rook or queen...

When I was about 17 I used to give my 10 year old brother queen-odds (I played without my queen). He apparently remembers it fondly, and I had to really think.
