I was reminiscing about this and wanted to share it. Not sure it's really malicious compliance but I'm still proud of this.

One year in elementary school we rotated little club like studies, one quarter you'd learn about computers, another in this case was chess & checkers. After learning the basics we had to hold a point based tournament and the winners would get a bag of candy. One half did checkers, the other chess, and if there's a tie both winners would get a bag.

Cue our 8 year old candy hungry brains.

We kept close track of the scores, played to win almost until the end, then we checked the score and let the person win that needed to for the points.

End result: everyone had the exact same score and we each got some candy
