Have you played chess against yourself?

And if so, did you win?

I can tell you that it is very difficult, i.e. the traps you set against yourself are seen through immediately; I would not expect more than a 50% score. 😉

I wouldn't want to be the arbiter in that match ... unless that was my third role 😕

It's a win-win situation.
Except in the case of a draw.

or a lose-lose thing. Depends how you look on it. Right place to pose this question by the way, as I bet many play with themselves on this forum.😉

I tried it, but I suspected engine use so I resigned and took the loss.

I play with myself all of the time. I usually come out a winner. 🙂

I used to play against me a few times; one move/day so I forget the plan from the other side; even though the games lasted months I was never able to beat myself; always managed to draw.

I have never played against User 42006
