Strange glitch again

So I was scrolling through old players, and I found a strange thing, this player played against themselves!

I've seen it before but this one played a whole game and checkmated themselves!!
What is the point of searching through six year old games and posting them as feedback today?

Feedback would be, this is how you can create a problem NOW.

Why not choose a descriptive title like many years ago things used to be broken?
Yes, I'm pretty certain this is not possible anymore. I know there are still some ways to start a game against yourself that might eventually be fixed as well (namely if somebody bothers to do that since it doesn't really have any impact) but you can't really play even if you manage to start such a game. You will only be able to do one move.
@bloopy1 Interesting. With all the ways I know of to play against yourself you'll only be able to move one color and therefore can't really play. Although I guess I never checked if that's just a client-side restriction and it works via the API or something. Is that what you did?

But afaik games against yourself are at least always force-unrated so it's not a big issue. If it worked properly, it might even be considered a feature.
