    New game mode for a lesser player to play Magnus: No concede, king must be put in checkmate, but with one exception, at any point during the game, you’re allowed one time to swap sides with Magnus. Therefore he must either get you in checkmate before you see it coming, or Magnus must always leave himself a way out of his own trap, knowing that at any moment he must play a defense against himself, but he doesn’t know when.

    You know what would of made this simul fun? Is if one of the players had a computer open in front of them and cheated on purpose. You could of had Magnus guess the Elo of that player... That would be pretty realistic for an online chess sponsored event.

    I’m not kidding when I say this but when the game starts Magnus should say to everyone you can make my first move for me. Any piece, anywhere.

    This isn't fair. Magnus should be blindfolded.
