A server with 1000 clients connected to it, all clients connected to the same port, and some clients having the same IP: how does the software on the server know which packet comes from which client?

What Michael said. You differentiate between clients using both their IP address and their port number.
Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other
