**[Fun](fun.md) [historical](historical.md) fact**: chess used to be played over [telegraph](telegraph.md), first such game took place probably in 1844.
Fun fact 2: in 2022 a chess playing robot took and broke a finger of a 7 year old opponent lol.
**How to play chess with yourself?** If you have no computer or humans to play against, you may try playing against yourself, however playing a single game against yourself doesn't really work, you know what the opponent is trying to do -- not that it's not interesting, but it's more of a search for general strategies in specific situations rather than actually playing a game. One way around this could be to play many games at once (you can use multiple boards but also just noting the positions on paper as you probably won't be able to set up 100 boards); every day you can make one move in some selected games -- randomize the order and games you play e.g. with dice rolls. The number of games along with the randomized order should make it difficult for you to remember what the opponent (you) was thinking on his turn. Of course you can record the games by noting the moves, but you may want to cover the moves (in which case you'll have to be keeping the whole positions noted) until the game is finished, so that you can't cheat by looking at the game history while playing. If this method doesn't work for you because you can keep up with all the games, at least you know got real good at chess :) { This is an idea I just got, I'm leaving it here as a note, haven't tried it yet. ~drummyfish }
**Is there any luck or [randomness](randomness.md) in chess?** Not in the rules of game itself of course, there is no dice rolling and there is no hidden information, however luck and randomness is present in the meta game (playing as white vs black may be decided randomly, your opponent may be assigned to you randomly etc.) and then [de facto](de_facto.md) in the fact that although no information is hidden, no one can ever have a complete information due to the sheer complexity of the game, so in practice playing chess involves risk, intuition and educated guessing at any human and superhuman (computer) level. So chess players do commonly talk about luck, outcome of a game is always a matter of probability which is however given by the relative skill of both players. Probability of a hobbyist beating professional in a fair game, unlike e.g. in some card games, can effectively be considered [zero](zero.md).

- When losing constantly offer draws, prolong the game AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, before the very last move just let the clock run out.
- Repeatedly try to make swastikas on the board, especially against colored opponents.
- Underpromote pawns to knights or bishops.
- Any time you can play en passant do it no matter what and always follow by saying "google en passant".
- When playing a noob don't just mate him but absolutely rape him, promote all pawns to knights before winning, then say you didn't even have to try and that he should look into another game as chess is clearly not his game. Research humiliating play: for example GM Aman Hambleton demonstrated on stream a so called *reset checkmate* in which one promotes all pawns so as to have the original back rank men and then delivers a checkmate by placing the men in the original starting position (furthermore he did this by premoving it all which adds to the humiliation).
- Look up chess etiquette and do the exact opposite of what it says.
