Mirroring Moves Across Two Games
@1
"it looks like they’re deliberately mirroring my moves"
++ ICCF explicitly forbids mirror games.
"we’re only three plies into a Scandinavian" ++ That is not much.
"It shouldn’t take you most of a day to decide how to respond to exd5!"
++ 2...Qxd5 or 2...Nf6 is no easy decision.
"I reported them for unsportsmanlike conduct but I haven’t heard anything."
++ Just play on. If it continues like 13 or 23 moves then it will be clear.
I told them in chat in both games that I’m not making a move in the game where it’s my turn until they make a move in the other, but there’s only about 7 hours on the clock. What I don’t want is for time to run out in the first game and I lose Elo for abandonment, but then they just resume playing in the other game. I mean, I like my chances of winning my Elo back, but I’d prefer not to risk it. I reported them for unsportsmanlike conduct but I haven’t heard anything.
