I don't believe it would work, even if the player on the other side isn't
using a computer, what's to say he/she isn't getting advice from other
people?  If they were doing that, it would be easy to put commentary in on
how and why a move is a good one.

I wouldn't agree to such a game, for the reasons that John Lawson and
Michael Howe wrote below.  A game is just that, a game.  It's meant to be
fun, not to be a chore.

And would anyone really want to give their opponent an opportunity to view
the thinking behind each move?  You cannot be 100% certain that your
encrypted ZIP file is unbreakable.  If you're concerned that your
opponent is using a computer, would you not also worry they could crack
your password/encryption?
