This may sound strange but I have often played chess "for pleasure". Foreign idea I know, but hear me out.
I play strictly book. I have often resigned games quickly if someone plays total garbage like a lot of the OOB stuff to avoid wasting my time. Playing chess helps my mind wind down and work on logic. When people intentionally play garbage, I just censor and block them. I have no clue how many more years I will live since I have already outlasted my doctor's forecast of next year (in 2018).
Between PTSD, Severe ADHD, Bipolar, and Early Onset Alzheimer's, my doctor has no clue how I even function. I tell them I read when I can and I play a lot fo chess to veg out.
I'm sorry for your current situation.
But I play chess for pleasure too; i was just curious how others approach chess; what OOB stands for? never heard that acronym.
You don’t understand how chess players find enjoyment copying machine moves.
Ask yourself the question:
How did the Machines find the moves for a person to copy?
Because it has a set of alghoritms that find the best move in any given situation?
I'm not understanding if you are advocating for human presence in chess alghoritms (in wich I say "you are right"), or for the fact that chess engines are imitating GMs while beating all of them with 0% chance for the GM to even draw.
Yep, you are correct.
The majority of machines were programmed by humans to play different chess algorithms.

In addition, Chess Programmers throughout history paid various GrandMasters to help improve the quality of the moves of these chess machines.
For Example:
GrandMaster Bronstein was said to have been paid to help programmers design a better chess machine. These various Chess programmers through out history consulted Chess Professionals to help improve their machines.

Once, you understand the above, it makes things become more clear.
You see chess players are logical.
They play moves with a logical reason behind the moves.

Furthermore, It is 100% possible that a chess player can play identical chess lines similar to a Computer engine with out ever even consulting a computer engine.
This is because a person could buy books published by a strong chess player and same chess player could have been a consultant to a programmer.

‘Once, you understand all the above, you can begin to understand how fascinating chess really is. A person could play a chess game played by a player in the 1500’s who had a chess idea and today we can understand and replicate that idea if we wish too.
