In Response To: Fair handicap question (Phil Simborg)

Off the top of my head, for the last 2, I would guess the stronger player would win:

(1) ~58% (XG says this is 58.45 for a 3.5 PR advantage) (2) ~40% (3) ~45%(Unsure about this one, would need to analyze it more)

For a close to fair spot, I would suggest the weaker player (-3.5 PR) gets a 1-0 lead in a 7-point match. I think this may favor the weaker player by a few percent.
