Is this the worst game on Lichess?

I tried to play a game with the highest average cp loss I can. I achieved 1987 acpl for black and 1980 for white (on average 1983.5) and from 8th move analysis shows: 1#/-1#/1#/-1#/1#/-1#/ etc.



Is this the worst full game possible or are there opportunities to make acpl even higher (I say about full games because it's possible to achieve 2000 when playing from position)? What are highest acpl possible for various variants? What is your highest acpl?

EDIT: I did some research and came up with game where 1#/-1#/1#/-1#/1#/-1# sequence starts at 5th move! As @MattHasFun said I tried to hang some pieces: one horse was under attack all the time and two rooks were under attack for some time, however acpl is still 1980/1987. Probably when forced checkmate is possible computer doesn't care about unnecessary pieces and 3 moves of 1#/-1#/1#/-1#/1#/-1# isn't enough to make a significant change in acpl. However theoretically the new game is worse:



I'm also wondering if it's possible to achieve higher cp loss in other variants. If you tried something, please let me know.
This is the work of a troubled mind.

I wonder if the ACPL could have been high if you had cleared out the G and H pawns, so that the rooks were watching each other the whole time just hanging and the Queen was hanging to the F pawn. Since with whites G pawn gone, the knight would have bene under threat, and if you had the H pawns gone the rook could have been hanging to each other the whole time.

Really no idea how this would effect it at all, but it would mean more stronger/more valuable pieces were hanging.

Also maybe getting the white queen out there and hanging could have theorhetically added to the ACPL. Really no idea though.

Edit: I guess since the greatest threat was always #1, -#1 every turn it wouldn't have made a difference if more pieces were hanging.
i challenge you to make the WORST bot. it physically cannot win, and will play the move with highest ACP possible.

Ok, I will try.
I found out something ever worse: you can play "1. g4 e6 2. f4 Qg5 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. Nb5 Nd8 5. c3 Ne7" at the begging and then 1#/-1#/1#/-1# will occur 3 moves faster.

thats a great game...
@ahaco
Why are you guys giving heart attack to the poor computer analysis?
~ Well, acpl can exceed 2000 if moves played are literally worst possible in the position. @worstfish plays Worst moves so the BOT can be used in your research work.

In first game the black bishop and 2 rooks are moving that is waste .
