The only way to guess about the opponent in the ssdf games is simply based on
the moves of the game.

You cna have a database of the ssdf games and use that database to guess the
name of the opponent based on the moves.

The ssdf often play a lot of games between 2 oppoentns so even if you fail in
the first game you can succeed in later games and guess correctly later.

You are not going to know when the tester switchs to a new opponent but even
then you can guess after a few games that it was done and the mistake of
assuming the wrong opponent may be done only in small part of the games.
