I do not recall that as a condition. However, I do want draw odds.
Therefore if I score 2 1/2 out of 5 I win the match.
I am slightly higher rated than Angelo. However, he has a compensating
advantage which is that he will know what I am going to play. When I
play Damiano's Defense I count on the fact that my opponent will think
I have blundered on move two or that I simply do not know that 1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 f6 is refuted by 3. Nxe5 .
In my game against rated master James West, he declined my pawn because
he was able to figure out that I had some tricks up my sleeve. A weaker
player might not realize that and grab the pawn.
