This is equivalent to the game Westley played with Vizzini. You know, if Westley didn't cheat. I like to call it "Sicilian Chess" for that reason, though that's just me.

There is a game where one player wants to predict the action of the other, and the other player wants them to fail (as a fixed sum game)

 

It has payoffs 

1,-1| -1,1

-1,1|1,-1

Or equivalent.

I believe that it has a nash equilibrium of choosing randomly.
