simobserve

Usage: simobserve [handle]

The "simobserve" command observes all the games of a user holding a simul.

EXTRA INFO
----------

You will receive an updated board position with the server message **You are
now observing game #** when the simul player moves to that board.

When a game you are observing ends you will be given the result of the game. 

{Game 12 (MAd vs. justjanie) MAd resigns} 0-1

When all simul games are completed you will see a server message reporting
the score of the simul, such as: 

 {simul (justjanie v.10) is over} Results 7 1 2 0

where the '10' means that the simul was against 10 players, and the score was
7 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws and 0 aborts.

SPECIAL NOTE
------------

Use the unobserve command to stop the simobserve process.

Use the allobservers command to see who is observing a game (or all games) in
progress.

The follow command also works but it would include non-simul games once the
simul has ended.

EXAMPLE
-------

simobserve MAd
     Allows you to observe all of MAd's simul games.

SEE ALSO
--------

allobservers follow games observe simuls unobserve
