gnubg has always been capable of playing against itself.

I'm sorry, you have to explain a bit more, I'm not sure I understand
exactly what you're suggesting.

If you don't want gnubg to display messages as popups  while playing
against it self, you can open the message window (Window->Messages).
Also, you can issue to command "set display off" to avoid gnubg using
CPU time updating the board.
