I've never like my opponent's friends looking our game over, especially over my shoulder. I can sense their eye contact and head movements which my opponent is somehow reciprocating. Worse, my opponent goes to the bathroom and his friend follows him for a chat on supposedly a non-game related matter. This usually happens in big tournaments and not in club tournaments. For me, just disallow any viewing of an ongoing game. Attend to your own game and leave the hall when your game is done. Leave other people's games alone.Ted Teodorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273585582573372315noreply@blogger.com
