What is a "handicap"?
A handicap is a set of adjustments or conditions designed to give a player who is at a disadvantage a fairer chance of winning. These adjustments can involve giving the weaker player extra points, advantages, or making the game more challenging for the stronger player. The purpose of a handicap is to level the playing field and create a more balanced, competitive experience, ensuring that both players have an opportunity to win, regardless of their skill or ability. Handicaps are commonly used in sports, games, and competitions to promote fairness.
