You vs You

Have you ever tried playing a game of Chess against  yourself? I have…and I have come to a grand conclusion…”it is the most ridiculous thing you could possibly do”. There is no way either of you (i mean…White-You or Black-You ) can win… unless ofcourse…you have a soft corner for either of the colours or well…ahem ahem…speaking in technical terms…your brain was a “memoryless system”. Non-technical readers…please excuse… so then…a system who’s output depends only upon the present input is defined as a memoryless system…isn’t it? Now…how does this relate to the bloody game of chess!!! Come to think of it…If White-You made a move and forgot the whole strategy before Black-You made the next move…then the Black-You will decide on the next move based solely on the present move by White-You…VOILA…A lovely example of how a Memoryless system should work…Pat on my back…thank you thank you…na na na…please please stop the applause…

But seriously…if you want to understand how silly it really is to play a game of chess against yourself…give it a shot!

adios
