I used to like playing Risk against myself, all six colors, but never could manage a good solo game of chess
Anansi could play.
Wise words.
Or you both sorta win. It depends on whether you’re a half-full or half-empty kind of person.
Diane Duane quotes the Vulcan philosopher Surak as follows:
“The spear in the Other’s heart
is the spear in your own:
you are he.
“There is no other wisdom,
and no other hope for us
but that we grow wise."
So in war, your opponent is yourself…
Boody’s Gambit
“The reason so many people are lost in thought is that it is unfamiliar territory.”
“…games you can’t win, ’cause you play against you.”
My folks didn’t like solo chess, they kept telling me not to play with myself…
Playing chess against myself was never so satisfying as usually getting trounced by a worthier opponent….
So, when it comes to Chess, Boody is a glass half empty guy.
