This might be a stupid question.I just saw the X-men 3 movie and in the end there is a scene with Magneto playing chess against himself in a park,which triggered this stupid question in my mind.Can anyone improve in any way by playing chess with himself?

Oh yes, I'm always surprising myself.

Playing chess against yourself is basically analysing.

He was actually not playing chess alone, he was playing with professor X from a distance. Is the way I always thought of that ending.

I have played a few games of chess vs myself, and it usually ends up as a draw
