Now, get this, this Friday, because I'm so popular, I'll be playing against 3 people at once (not blindfolded this time 😉) at chess.

Does anyone try this, are you any good, any tips?

The most I've done at once is twenty. Three at once I do quite a bit, but usually no more than one is close to my level.

I think the key for me at least is if they are not as good player it is not very hard. I did play 3 at once where two of the players were rated very close to me and this was very hard for me. I managed to win all three but after I was very tired and even a little stressed feeling. I can play pepole not as good thought like this all day and it is no problem.

Nah, this is just a casual game with a few friends of mine, no ratings.
No time limit strictly speaking, but I'll hopefully try to keep the games under 20/30 minutes.

If anyone would like to know: I rarely play OTB, I have no rating OTB, but I hope to change this whenever possible.
