As some of you may know, Larry Christiansen, 3 time US Champ, and probably the greatest attacking player the US has ever seen, plays material odds blitz against all comers, and depending on their rating, gives them different material odds.

Kasparov is regarded, not only by me, but by the general population as a whole, to be the finest attacker in modern chess history...
