I agree that playing your own moves against an engine removes the "competitive" spirit. From my side, I would need to run an engine a few times at each move to learn its 1st and 2nd best moves - but still is not a lot of work on my part.
The idea was an experiment. It would be to test the theory that an engine would play "disastrously poorly". I've seen this discussion of human play vs engine for Refusal chess more than once, and (so far) I have not seen a human willing to go against the engine.
(btw: thanks for your offer - If I played a game against you it would be Enep. That sounds like a fun one too!)
