There are nuances between "playing your best chess" and "intentionally making
bad moves".

If I play against my engine, I don't play bad moves intentionally, but I know
that I won't be too unhappy when I lose the game and that has an influence on my
subconsciousness and for example makes me take more risks than I would do in a
tournament game. I want to win in both games, but in the tournament game I want
to win more..

Not everyone who doesn't believe that humans play their very best chess is
necessarily a conspiracy theorist.

Sargon

PS. I do believe that these games are of value apart from the entertainment
part. It's just not black or white. :)
