Subject: Anyone played computer which gives queen odds?

I would be interested to know what peoples results are when playing one of the
top programs (or even a bit lower than that), and removing the computers queen
before the first move.
NOT setting the computer to a lower level, but keeping it at its best, and just
denying it its queen.

Would anyone care to admit that they STILL lose almost every game even if they
are rated 2000+?

I'm not saying this SHOULD happen, but I think it is much harder than one would
think, to beat the computer just because it is a queen down (from starting
position).
Anyone who hasn't tried, will probably think it would be a pushover if you just
removed one rook or even one knight.
But you might be in for a shock!
Try to see what happens even if you remove the computers queen!
Any results please?
