let me put out a few points, though I don't yet have enough for a
comprehensive page yet, but when I do, I might pull it together
for one. So I volunteer provisionally, though I might need some
help going forward.
Chess-like game with handicap systems that could be a guide are:
knightmare chess
http://www.sjgames.com/knightmare/handicapping.html
Shogi
http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/orient/shogi_handicap1.html
The first site mentions that for standard chess, traditional handicap is
based on similar pricipal as shogi handicaps.
While the traditional system is a good start I would like to have a much
more fine grained approach.
I'll leave it here so I can write a more detailed note soon also to give
the reader a chance to respond.
