We can't play simultaneous games anymore, unless it is a simul session !

Sometime in the past I was able to start a new game while still playing another. Playing two or three games simultaneously was very useful to avoid getting bored in long time control (classical).

However, this is not possible anymore, because when trying to start a new game, we are given this screen instead:



What about adding a button in this screen with something like "Play simultaneous games" ?

Btw, I know anyone can start a simultaneous exhibition, but that's not quite the same thing since it requires you to wait for X players to sign in for the simul before all games start. If you're not a titled player of don't have a very high rating, then this is not really an option since you'll not get the opponents you wish.

Keeping one person waiting while you make your moves with an other seems like a form of cheating to me.

What about making one person wait while I watch a porn film? Is that cheating?

What you do with you time is your own business and I would prefer it if it stayed that way.

Hm so perhaps you are thinking about copying the moves from one board to the other board and vice-versa, making both opponents play against each other ?
