The title doesnt feel like chess.
While your rating wouldn't go down, it would add to your total games played(and recent games played) and would, therefore, change the effect other games have on your rating.
Can't I get some friggin privacy???

What I said was true, but I wasnt being serious about that part... And shame on you all for having your minds in the gutter. I mean, the title was completly coincidental

why are you compelled to checkmy profile
Probably the only difficulty of playing with yourself here is that someone might wander in -- some profile peeker, no doubt -- and you'd be embarrassed to be caught. The problem of playing against yourself was explored by Stefan Zweig in his short story "The Royal Game": a prisoner in solitary confinement plays chess games against himself in his mind and goes mad. When you switch between sides you have to ignore the knowledge of your plans while playing the other side; you have to try to create two separate "persons" in the same mind, each unware of the other's thoughts. Generally, though, playing with others is more fun than playing with yourself.

I'm playing against myself, OTB. I'm not trying to hide my plans between opponents. Rather I'm trying to win as each opponent with full knowledge of the other's plans. Problem is I presently play KIA as white and KID as black, so the game was a mirror image for a while and very close to a mirror image for too long for my taste. The middle game is interesting, though. I think it's gonna be a draw but we'll see.
I think taking both sides of the board is a useful exercise. I think it can condition me to more fully assess my oponent's plans.
(Sorry I didn't use any puns, but I figured I'd leave it alone for now.)
I tried to challenge myself and after setting the perameters Chess.com found an opponent for me. I cant see the harm in playing a game against yourself. Your rating isnt going to go up or anything... but what if it goes down... I would have just lost a game and all. Anyways, Any thoughts...
