This would never work in chess because there is almost always a checkmate in a few moves under the assumption that the opponent doesn't defend it. So this engine would just play way too aggressively and over-extent their pieces.

Take scholars mate for example. You can win in 4 moves from the initial position and it is an easy win if the opponent doesn't defend it but playing against someone that knows chess it is a horrible opening because it is easy to defend and leaves you in a weak position.
