I once had the idea to take this to the extreme and make a version where you only control your opponent's pieces, so in terms of this game: blunder after blunder. Hardly having any chess experience, I'm not sure how interesting it would be. There's a good chance it essentially turns the one to start into the winner. Every few moves like here might work a lot better.

Sounds like a similar idea to antichess. Antichess is also (sadly) a solved game assuming perfect play.

  • antichess is about eating pieces - it differs a lot from standard

    the "true answer" is sometimes called misere chess - but it isn't talked about much or as popular

    optimal misere strategy seem to be winning (almost) all the pieces - and then forcing checkmate onto yourself with force
