  You are playing 4 players at the same, you are black, white, black, white.
  
  Player 1 makes his move, you switch to player 2 and make the same move as player 1, and so on, with player 3's first move becoming your move to player 4.
  
  you then go back to player 1 and respond with player 2's response to your move.
  
  if you sense a mistake, you 'go for gold' and 'play your hunch'.
  
  does this have a name?
