Do you ever play Chess against yourself?

Naw, I can't beat me. I'm too good.

 ha ha, good one :)

Yeah. When ever I'm losing, I always try some kind of swindle but for some reason it never works...

If I win, what part of "me" is really the winner? lol 

I used to do so, but play against engines now. I'll look at possible variations for both sides in the openings I play, but that's about it.

yess

It's hard to do, but I used two methods. First, one move at day for each color: white move in the morning, blacks in the night; next day the order are inverse. Second, with 5 minutes in clock, and playing the most hard defense with balck against my favorite open (queen gambit vs indian defense), more searching help in books for blacks.

I have done this on a real chess board.  I don't find it to be fun.  I prefer to play other people besides myself.  

Everyday.

I still do that a lot. I keep trying to invite other people close to me for a match. But most of them decline; "I don't know how to play that", some say. My mother and grandfather are two of these people. The only one who more often plays against me is my father. But more often, he is too busy with other projects he has in mind. Therefore, I have no one to challenge except myself.

Bobby Fischer became the GOAT because he played with himself.

no point in doing so honestly, its pretty weak and has no benefit at all just purely stupid imo but i do prefer analyzing by myself and playing it alongside my board or laptop but never play myself

Yes, but its not That good

At 3:37 Magnus says "sit at the board and play with yourself...  it's amazing."    Then they laugh at how it sounded. It's part of the bloopers and outtakes. I think they're the best part.

I've never played a game against myself sounds interesting. I think I shall try.  I should be able to win. But with my luck I would most likely end in a stalemate draw.

I did this for the first time today on a real board. I have my first OTB tournament upcoming, so I used it as an opportunity to get used to playing with a real board, and writing down coordinates.

I was surprised that I learned a lot and it was good practice. The goal was to always play the best moves for both sides that I could come up with. I plugged the game into an engine to analyze after, and used it as an opportunity to ask myself why I played certain moves.

I play chess against myself. 

It's like a challenge for me to find the loophole in my calculation. I started this when I was lower rated because I figured that when practicing a new opening, the person most likely to play the moves of the opponent would be someone similar to my rating... And who would be more similar to my rating than myself? And through this repetition is how I learned openings as a beginner/intermediate player. I would make moves considered by the book to be subpar, and play them out against myself, and try to see if I can make the "advantage" of one side work. 

As long as you always try to find a loophole in your own calculation, playing by yourself is not as useless as it sounds.
