ICC Help: xobserve

Command:  xobserve
Usage:  xobserve [<game-number> | <player>]
Examples:  "xobserve Fred" -- observes Fred's current game
 "xobserve 5" -- observes game 5

The xobserve command is very similar to the observe command: it causes you to begin watching the specified game. The difference is, it will cause you to stop observing any other games that you are already observing. You will end up observing only the one game you specify with the xobserve command.

If you "xobserve" a game you are already observing, nothing happens. You will still be observing it.

"xobserve" without any arguments causes you to observe the current game of a person you are following (with a previous "follow" command). This can be useful for watching simuls. You just type "xob" each time you want to move to the current game of the simul giver. If you aren't following anyone, you get a message to that effect.
