The idea of doing something without a defined "productive" goal might help to do things differently, discover new ways, and in the end stumble on an innovation?
Tried it, 2 comments:
1) Engine gives a piece early with: 1. b3 b6 2. Bb2 Bb7 3. e4 ??Bxg2
2) when you enter an uppercase letter it says illegal move
Edit: and here I am trying to "stumble" on an innovation and be productive again. Erh... Humans
