#2Despite the name, this variant is absolutely mind-bending and games look nothing like regular chess. Have fun trying this out!

#3That actually looks hilarious, especially the part where checkmating is illegal since it would always be the best move. The first game highlighted is also fun. I'll have to try this next week at the chess club!

Should that always be the case, though? We could try to force a position where 2 separate moves checkmate. Then only 1 (presumably the one that results from capturing the highest valued piece?) would be the engine result.

Aren't there situations where 2+ moves cause checkmate? Only one can be the top engine move. Or are all of those effectively impossible to reach unless your opponent helps?

It says at the bottom:
> When multiple moves have the top score, they are all top moves, even if visual markers (like move arrows) suggest the engine prefers one over the other.
Since all moves that checkmate the opponent will have the same score (M1 or -M1) they'll all be illegal.

Also despite being named Human chess it's a form of chess where a computer is absolutely necessary.
