How can this guy do this?
I played a guy, won the series 3-0 and took 25 points off him. When I saw him in the lobby I noticed that his rating had gone down by like another 39 points! Turns out he had been playing 3 other games
at the same time as my games with him!
He lost all of them too
LOL
. No wonder he was playing so slow! Is this allowed? This could lead to players playing their opponent's moves against another opponent in the simultaneous match... right? IM
Hi Thunder, true but what about my last point about people using an opponent's moves in Game #1 (say, as White) to play against the other opponent in Game #2? Reminds me of that magician Derren Brown who played 9 GMs simultaneously:

He was probably playing in another room, this is allowed. Many users do it, however, I am not too sure why as surely their level of concentration will decrease. More fool him ... :D
