THis is possible. My interface checks for two things: over the last 21 games (20 in history + current game) if it finds 5 or more challenges (and I hopefully screen out resumptions) from the same player, it will noplay them. If various engine whisper announcements are given, it watches the opponent and will noplay for 5 or more. This last is not real accurate since many don't identify their engine.
