One would have to be careful with the 3 2-person games scenario. No 
person could host more than 1 game, or else you would have to fiddle 
with port numbers. Also, real time constraints on turn length would 
probably need to be set up to prevent someone from spending too much 
time on one game (and just to add to the adrenaline level :-).

A "simul" (to use chess jargon) is a fun idea though.
