What is the highest average centipawn loss you can achieve in a game?

Hello, does anybody have any idea what the highest average centipawn loss is achievable in a standard chess game and if so, could you post any possible standard games? Doesn’t have to be from a particular game, you can make this up on your analysis board. Remember it has to be a standard chess game.

The highest loss is from -10 to +10 pawn units. So the difference is 20 pawn units resp. 2000 cpu.

In short: the more blunders the more it is approaching 2000.

Here it is something with 1000.

@Sarg0n yep, correct answer. But players never manage to score an exact 2000 ACPL, even though both players deliberately do blunders. Cuz like the first moves of the game can't lose that many centipawns. So highest possible is around 1980.
Btw what was your highest ACPL ever? (So I mean in a serious game, not a game where you deliberately tried to get a high ACPL)
It some variants like atomic or anti 2000 is possible, at least for Black. In regular chess, there is no -10 move to start with.
It would make sense that both players could achieve high centipawn losses when they both have chances to checkmate and ignore that entirely #3. Clever theory
And I’m making a different forum for the lowest average centipawn loss. Post there if you want to.
lichess.org/Cx786zGh/ I guess this is around the highest possible acpl lose one can get in a standard chess game so both got mate in one every turn white since move 3 and 4Nd1 5Ne2 was helpful so both got mate in one from there till the end of the game :)
