Doing 1 2 with a computer program for a fast operator that knows a bit
of chess is possible.

For the average person it's of course insane.

Having 2 monitors and 2 computers and being left and right handed it is
possible to do it.

expected moves you already can make directly without losing time, yes
even winning time. if a lot of unpredicted moves happen then you're
smoked though :)
