mysql select statement with multiple where/conditions

Question

I have the following two tables in mysql:

users:

+--------+-----------+
| userId | userName  |
+--------+-----------+
| 1      | magnus    |
| 2      | fabiano   |
| 3      | alexander |
| 4      | veselin   |
+--------+-----------+

games:

+--------+---------+---------+
| gameId | userId1 | userId2 |
+--------+---------+---------+
| 1      | 1       | 2       |
| 2      | 1       | 3       |
| 3      | 2       | 3       |
| 4      | 2       | 4       |
+--------+---------+---------+

How can I construct a single query such that I get this below output of say, fabiano's opponents:

output:

+--------+-----------+
| gameId | userName  |
+--------+-----------+
| 1      | magnus    |
| 3      | alexander |
| 4      | veselin   |
+--------+-----------+

Edit1:

This was what I was trying and I wasn't able to get them into a single query:

• select fabiano's opponents [select * from games where 2 in (userId1, userId2);]
• read each of the rows, and check which of them is fabiano(2), and select the other userId
• from the userIds of these opponents, get their name from users table

Edit2: Inspired by the answers below, I wrote this (they work):

-- NO JOIN
select x.gameId, users.userName from
(
select gameId, userId2 as id from games where userId1=2
UNION
select gameId, userId1 as id from games where userId2=2 
) as x, users 
where users.userId = id;

-- NO JOIN, NO UNION        
select x.gameId, users.userName from (
SELECT g.gameId,
    CASE WHEN userId1 = 2
            THEN userId2     
         WHEN userId2 =2
            THEN userId1
         END AS id
FROM games g) as x, users
where users.userId = id;

Answer 1

You can union the two sets of data together, viz all games where Fabiano is User 1, with all games that he is in the role of User 2:

SELECT x.Opponent
FROM
(
    SELECT u.Name AS Opponent
    FROM games g
    INNER JOIN users u
    ON g.userId2 = u.UserId
    WHERE g.UserId1 = 2 -- Fabiano

    UNION

    SELECT u.Name
    FROM games g
    INNER JOIN users u
    ON g.userId1 = u.UserId
    WHERE g.UserId2 = 2 -- Fabiano
) AS x;

At this point as assume that Fabiano can't simultaneously both be User1 and User2, as we would need to consider UNION ALL vs UNION DISTINCT :)

This could also be tidied up a bit into:

SELECT x.Opponent
FROM
(
    SELECT u.Name AS Opponent, g.UserId1 AS PlayerId
    FROM games g
    INNER JOIN users u
    ON g.userId2 = u.UserId

    UNION

    SELECT u.Name, g.UserId2 AS PlayerId
    FROM games g
    INNER JOIN users u
    ON g.userId1 = u.UserId
) AS x
WHERE x.PlayerId = 2; -- Fabiano

Answer 2

Try something like:

SELECT `gamess`.gameId, `users`.userName
FROM users INNER JOIN
   (SELECT gameId, userId2 as userId
    FROM games
    WHERE userId1 = 2
    UNION
    SELECT gameId, userId1 as userId
    FROM games
    WHERE userId2 = 2) AS gamess
ON `gamess`.userId = `users`.userId
