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.
