I noticed something

most players with a high antichess rating have low normal chess ratings, because the point of antichess is to lose all your pieces,
It's really bad when I think I'm playing antichess, and I notice it's not, but only after I've given away a couple pieces.
hehe
The people with the high antichess ratings are the people who can come up with/use the most ingenious ideas. I have quite a few antichess weapons i use in all of my games (admittedly, i didn't even come up with a single one of them), and they usually bring me great results because they throw my opponents off track.
I could teach someone to reach my antichess rating in a few hours simply through the traps in the common openings

It's quite trivial
Here's an interesting question...some other variants have a lot of synergy with standard chess, in that you are utilizing similar tactics in new and creative ways. Does antichess have synergy, and if so, how? What about antichess works well with improving your standard game. Or is it just a fun variant that allows us to blow off steam and shouldn't be taken seriously?
It is easy to have a high anticshess level - the secret is you have to memorize not more than 4-5 openings and that's all. From there is kinda forced and obivios and win easy. But i'm not a robot and lazy to do it.
