I just wanted to say "right", not be creative...

Iv tried playing against myself, I did expect most games to end in draws, but because im crap at chess I made mistakes which I didnt see at the time but became apparent later on in the game making most games won or lost. As for learning it helps a little but is very boring and not really giving yourself a wide range of chess experience/input of new ideas from outside your norm.

Hmm very strange that is. Why not play against another opponent? You will learn nothing from doing what you are doing now.

Fischer used to play against himself. But, that was Fischer.

Hello
I have played 3 games against my brother. He has won one game and I won 2 games, so how do I calculate my rating. 2ndly I feel like I cant play that well on board as I can on RHP, though I dont use analyze board much. I will try to take long time thinking moves on board. Let's hope I get some better .......

Regards,

your rating = your brothers rating +/- n, where n is a natural number.

easy, isnt it...

seriously speaking: your rating would be same as your performance rating. And with ~66% (2/3) scoring it would be:

your rating=brothers rating+(0.66-0.5)*400

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention that I have to find my brother's rating.

Thank you

Playing against your brother is like playing against your home computer, winning and expecting FIDE to recognise such an event. See http://forum.fide.com/viewtopic.php?t=1549
