Actually, after failing in my attempt to create a
second account (it said I already had an account
with the nomorechess email address), I decided
to risk my own incredible rating in a test of what
would happen in a QN odds game against a top
commercial program.


Here is that Gamehttp://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?id=DM19012&game=Chess

I am unable to see how it got a Extra Knight. Actually it lost its
bishop after the 12th move.



Wrong game. I will find the game myself
and post a link here. Note that there is
only one game where I played Nc3-b5-a7,
deliberately giving away the Knight.

I only have control of one side, so I can't
do a "proper" QN-odds game, in which the
piece is simply removed before play begins.
In this game, Black got in the moves:

1. ...d5

2. ...a6


However, the capture 3. ...Rxa7 is an
inconvenience to Black.


Much to my surprise, the GetClub program
held its piece advantage for a while, before
suddenly succumbing to a complex combination
which regained the piece for a pawn or two.
After that, it was no contest. This game can be
found by searching through my games looking
for the unique opening sequence:


1. Nc3 d5
2. Nb5 a6
3. Na7!!



The game posted here by Sanny seems to
indicate that he is not familiar with algebraic
notation; instead of my Nc3 he found a recent
game in which I played Nf3, for instance.
