Challenge information

Narrow, A Player of Chess 2 (50% base)

  • 0 - high-risk (30%)
  • 1 - tough (40%)
  • 2 - very chancy (50%)
  • 3 - chancy (60%)
  • 4 - modest (70%)
  • 5 - very modest (80%)
  • 6 - low-risk (90%)
  • 7 and above - straightforward (100%)

The above is when Respectability Factor and Respectable are both exactly 0. Every level/point of Respectability Factor increases the difficulty by 2, while every level of Respectable reduces the difficulty by 1/3, rounded to the nearest integer. If Respectable is negative due to the use of items with a negative modifier, the difficulty increases instead.
