Solitaire Chess

Encontrei este material interessante em um tópico de forum com instruções para jogar D&D sozinho. Segue em inglês pois estou com preguiça de traduzir.

You ever play chess against yourself? No? Good. You’re not THAT lonely. I have as a security guard. I had a magnetic chess set with flat pieces so you could fold up and store a game in progress. It was slow going, maybe one move per hour. The interim time was used actually doing my job, so I had other things to think about. At the end of each hourly patrol I’d make one move, and then move an indicator, like a paperclip, to the other side of the board to indicate whose turn it was, black or white. Then I’d read, check gauges, alarm settings, make coffee, do crossword puzzles, and wait for the next patrol, after which I’d repeat the process. I’d get in eight moves a night playing against myself. At each move, I would make the move that was most advantageous to which ever side I was moving for. I had two tokens on the table, and if the game ended, I’d flip one of the tokens. Whatever color was on the token was the side that I was rooting for. In that manner, I could actually lose against myself.
