Wonderful observation by @rygorous. Given checkmate positions, is there a (two-player co-operative) game you can give that, when time-reversed, gives rise to plausible adversarial ordinary chess games?https://twitter.com/rygorous/status/1157676103978213377 …

On further thought, the reverse sequence would not be guaranteed to be the optimal way to get to the original position. Without being too precise, let us assume any "reverse move" leading to p' which can lead to p is legal. Then here is a counterexample:https://lichess.org/study/KieA8vh1

I guess similar motifs can be used to make the optimal solution arbitrarily better (?), but the idea of a chess variant having some neat reverse play property is very interesting. Maybe the right way is to think of maximin / and objective functions instead of just chess variants
