So basically chess with landmines. Every move will be contested (because why wouldn't you? there are no downsides and only upsides)
So every move you make (I'll be watching you) could end up being the top move. Even if you run the chess engine yourself to decide what not to play, you're still at risk of bad luck because you happen to run the chess engine on a faster or slower machine than the person checking for the top move, and they diverge.
EDIT: Never mind, contesting and getting it wrong causes you to lose - that's the downside.
- vanderZwan 4y agoIf you contest a move and you're wrong you lose the game.
- kstenerud 4y agoAh I misread that part.
- Khoth 4y agoThere is a downside - if you contest and you're wrong, you lose. The page doesn't say, but it's cheating to use an engine yourself to decide what move to make (or to decide whether to contest)
