I do not know if it is not so effective against humans.

I think that we need to see games of some player who tried antichess against
humans who are slightly better and failed in order to know it.

games when the difference in rating is more than 200 elo are not interesting
because the stronger player may win by choosing inferior moves that confuse the
opponent.
