Losing chess, also known as antichess, is a chess variant in which the objective is inverted: the goal is to lose all of one's pieces (or otherwise reach a position where you cannot move) rather than checkmate the opponent. Captures are typically mandatory whenever available, which forces unusual, counterintuitive strategy compared to standard chess. It is popular among chess enthusiasts looking for a lighthearted twist that requires rethinking familiar opening and tactical principles.
