The article states that if there are multiple moves the engine recommends, that they all count as the "optimal" move, even if there's an indication of preference by the engine.

Just because there are multiple ways to take the queen, doesn't mean that none of them is clearly better than the others.

I like the idea of not being allowed to use any move the engine would recommend. Blunders only.

  That is quite similar to how I play now anyway, so I might be really good at this version.

    I'm approaching 40 years old, have played chess off and on since I was a kid, and I'm not sure I've ever played a match that didn't include several blunders. Like, on the off chance I'm playing someone who doesn't blunder often, I'll certainly pick up their slack. My game quality is measured in how many times I say "fuck!" right after moving a piece. A very good game for me is about a two-fuck game.

      If chess is truly a drawn game with perfect play then whoever makes the second to last blunder is the winner.

      The fun thing about chess, you don’t seem to think you are good, but I can’t imagine only making two obvious mistakes in a game! It grows with you, haha.

        No no, that's a very good game for me :-) Most of them it's more like four or five "oh my god I hope they don't see that thing I spotted the second I took my hand off" moments—and that's just the ones I notice before they're exploited. I'm sure I make tons of moves that anyone half-decent would call blunders but that simply go unnoticed by both players at the board. I'm so very bad at spotting diagonal attacks, especially. Anyone who can open up their bishops then play for time will eventually see me put my queen in some dumbshit situation that lets them take it free or cheap in a single move, for instance, not even any multi-move planning required.

  Lichess has a variant called "Antichess". If you can take a piece, you have to. No checks/checkmate rules. First person to have zero remaining pieces wins. You basically want to "blunder" into giving your opponent long chains of captures while avoiding any positions that allow your opponent to hang a piece.
