In the game of Go, especially very strong players will, for the fun and challenge, sometimes play one-color Go.
This is just a regular game of Go, with nothing special when it comes to the setup and rules, or anything. The only difference is that eg. the player that plays with white stones will physically use black stones instead (or the other way around). They are still white stones from the perspective of the game itself, but he's just physically using black stones as "surrogates" or "proxies" for the white stones. The game works in every way as normal, but it obviously quickly becomes very confusing, when all the stones look the same color. The players need to remember which stones are actually white. (One could compare it a bit to playing blind, except you see where every stone is placed, even if you don't directly see their color.) This requires quite a lot of experience from both players.
I was wondering if this is ever done in chess, eg. online. A completely normal game of chess, except that visually (and only visually) the black pieces are shown as white pieces.
I'm assuming that it would be easier than with Go (because the board is smaller and there are less pieces), but challenging nevertheless.
