After about 5 moves, it may not really matter. I’d have to put way more thought into it though. I have construction workers here now repairing flood damage, and I’m a bit distracted… ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Chess player accused of cheating by having anal beads that vibrated to tell him what moves to make. Stephen Colbert talked about this on the “Meanwhile” segment of his show, after the break after the opening monologue. He followed it up with a bit about them the new nominees for the National Toy Hall of Fame. I think they missed a wonderful opportunity to tie the two news items together, because in my opinion Anal Bead Chess is a shoo-in for the National Toy Hall of Fame. Or else Colbert’s writing staff just has much more class than I do, and refused to go there. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Ah, I see. That answers my question. If you have the first move in one game and not the second, you wait for the one opponent to make their move, and then you imitate that in the other game, making their first move your first move. Got it. I still don’t get it. If I’m playing White against Magnus and Black against So, do I start as Black, watch So’s move, not do anything, then go to Magnus and play So’s move, wait for Magnus’ move, then go back to So and play Magnus’ move? ---
