Only for player for which the games are stored in databases. That is quite limited set of players.

www.yottachess.com/ has today games from + 1,5M players. That is pretty much all decent players on the planet. Nobody is interested in accounts of beginners. With + 350 of my games stored in the public databases, it will be very easy to map my anonymous accounts (assuming you go down to about number 1000).
I expect somebody with a bit of IT-skills can make lists in very little time and offer them for sale.

Just tested it, it's very interesting! I put there a name of a very strong anon GM whom I played here several times, and the first suggestion was Anish Giri. I also tried myself and it also suggested Anish as the 1st choice!! With my meager 2825 blitz rating. Call me drunk Anish since now. :))

What a bummer! I have included 200 games of mine in my course. People should by my course, not CB^^

I am alarmed because from now on we are all transparent players! What the CIA and KGB have not managed to do so far, ChessBase has now developed in just a few steps.

I will draw my conclusions from this and from tomorrow onwards I will only play Horde.

Sounds like maybe their algorithm is as simple as something like
> int find_player(const char *online_handle, char *name, size_t name_size) {
> if (!player_exists(online_handle))
> return -1;
> strncpy(name, "Anish Giri", name_size);
> return 0;
> }

Maybe it was coded by Albert Silver.
