There might be some complexity in a draw. You might need to get creative at that point. The question is, would he play himself to a draw, or to a win for 1 side.
It's a common stage trick though. A single "master plays 11 games of chess at once. He's actually just playing 1, against the weakest player. All the rest are paired off, and he just transfers their move across.
That sounds really cool as a concept, but doesn't that require 1. An even distribution of black and white, and 2., doesn't that guarantee a 50/50 winrate on the event?
It does, though winning 7 out of 13 games of chess is still quite an achievement, particularly when the players are of a very high level.
