Suppose I am playing games with players X and Y. X has white and Y has black. X opens. I play X's move as my opening against Y. Y moves. I play Y's move against X. And so on. I am not really playing, they are playing one another with me as the messenger.
As long as I don't get in time trouble, is this viable? It is certainly unsportsmanlike and is getting 'help,' but I am indifferent to the quality of the 'help.'
If X and Y have different RHP ratings and my rating is different from either, how will this strategy affect my rating?
I'm not well-organized enough to actually try this.
