For YOU chess is about winning, no matter how you win,
For ME chess is not about winning, it is about HOW you win.
If for you chess is about winning chess, why don’t you let stockfish play against itself with thrice as much computation time ?
That would be enough to win. And since you are not interested in HOW a win is done, it would fit all your needs.
Answer me a question please. If chess is all about winning, no matter how, why do most people write down the game score and save it into a PGN, if only the results is important, such as 1:0, 0:1 or 1/2, why do they write down all the moves until the game is over if the way is not the target ?
Chess is about winning, chess. And Chess has rules. And to win at chess you want to know why you lost. Do you play tournament chess...
What is your point. You play chess to lose as long as you look good losing
And this is not even the context of your post.
Article 8: The recording of the moves
8.1 In the course of play each player is required to record his own moves and those of his
opponent in the correct manner, move after move, as clearly and legibily as possible, in
the algebraic notation (See Appendix C), on the scoresheet prescribed for the
competition.
It is forbidden to write the moves in advance, unless the player is claiming a draw
according to Article 9.2, or 9.3 or adjourning a game according to the Guidelines of
Adjourned Games point 1.a.
A player may reply to his opponent’s move before recording it, if he so wishes. He must
record his previous move before making another.
Both players must record the offer of a draw on the scoresheet. (See Appendix C.13)
12
If a player is unable to keep score, an assistant, who must be acceptable to the arbiter,
may be provided by the player to write the moves. His clock shall be adjusted by the
arbiter in an equitable way.
8.2 The scoresheet shall be visible to the arbiter throughout the game.
8.3 The scoresheets are the property of the organisers of the event.
8.4 If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock at some stage in a period and does
not have additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then for the
remainder of the period he is not obliged to meet the requirements of Article 8.1.
Immediately after one flag has fallen the player must update his scoresheet completely
before moving a piece on the chessboard.
8.5 a. If neither player is required to keep score under Article 8.4, the arbiter or an
assistant should try to be present and keep score. In this case, immediately after
one flag has fallen, the arbiter shall stop the clocks. Then both players shall update
their scoresheets, using the arbiter’s or the opponent’s scoresheet.
b. If only one player is not required to keep score under Article 8.4, he must, as soon
as either flag has fallen, update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on
the chessboard. Provided it is the player’s move, he may use his opponent’s
scoresheet, but must return it before making a move.
c. If no complete scoresheet is available, the players must reconstruct the game on a
second chessboard under the control of the arbiter or an assistant. He shall first
record the actual game position, clock times and the number of moves made, if this
information is available, before reconstruction takes place.
8.6 If the scoresheets cannot be brought up to date showing that a player has overstepped
the allotted time, the next move made shall be considered as the first of the following
time period, unless there is evidence that more moves have been made.
8.7 At the conclusion of the game both players shall sign both scoresheets, indicating the
result of the game. Even if incorrect, this result shall stand, unless the arbiter decides
otherwise.
