That wouldnt completely be the worst case since the move is considered bad expecting the opponent to play the best move, so unless your opponent is really good, Sometimes, it might be an ok move or a good move

I've seen some newer players recently and honestly, it's very hard for them to end the game. They can't recognise mating patterns or even know "simple" executions like a ladder mate (which personally I think should be taught to someone super early, day 2 at the latest). Then they get frustrated and either stop caring about the match or just resign online cause you don't really lose anything for doing so. It might also have to do with the fact that the endgame is the part you'd have experienced the least at that point.

If you're a beginner, you're going to learn more playing actual players, doing puzzles and learning opening principles than you will from the 3200 engine. Chess isn't really a game that can be figured out with trial and error and just seeing your opponent play the best move in a position isn't enough to understand why it was done.

One of the dumbest people I know is in the 2000s elo. Beats me at chess all the time. Bro can't figure out how to sign in to his email by himself, change a tire on a car or cook a meal without burning it but can curb everyone we know on a chess board. Chess is 100% memory and pattern recognition. True intelligence is far more than that. Not to say that chess is full of stupid people but people conflate skill and training with intelligence. Like thinking that just because someone is a doctor or lawyer they must be super smart, when really those jobs take more dedication than intelligence.

One could be forgiven for thinking that the black-and-white bar on the left side simply tells you which player's turn it is. Thank you for this ELI5 chess match.

[@andrewbloom7694]

By win probability added, this would absolutely have to be one of the most chaotic ever yeah

[@johngreek0424]

That entire match was like waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner. You want it to happen but it just doesn't
