I don't know who it is, or why they are doing that.

dude that's ur account

Notice the lower case "I" in their names.

huh I see no difference

They are using lower case "I" to make it look like an "L".

ah

Report them to admin

report them also nice new pfp

Both reported.

Thanks mai and iateurcatlol

In top 20 he has only 1 LOSS!!

Oh yes...

Also he only played bughouse

Reported both - i ran into them a few times yesterday already and thought it was strange you would do this - although they largely resigned the games before starting

Thanks DontKno. Those accounts are banned now. And I don't think there are any more plausible ways to imitate my username by using lower case letters.

could replace "rl" with "d" to make it look kinda close, but that's pushing it.

It's the upper case "I", not lower. This is a weird "feature" of the standard character set used by many computers, upper case I and lower case L display exactly the same. Chess.com stores user names case sensitive but searches case insensitive, so you can bring up the fake guy's account with this:

which looks like all lower case letters but the "l" in jarl's name is actually a capital I.
