Is there any RHP

Is there any RHP "referee" or "judge" here that a player can appeal to for unsportsmanship play?

Someone playing at 2100 and doesn't understand the game?

That is fishy.

Maybe.
Or maybe he figures everyone else will move as rapidly as him, and is irked by an intransigent player.

Before you open your mouth and insert foot, take a look at his time controls. 14 days per move, 21 days per move. He has time for his engines to do their work.

Someone is a sportsman? The admins must not have detected him yet.

Pure gold, sonhouse.
Totally nailed it.
Regardless of time controls, some people like to move quickly in order to move on to the next one.

Like anyone commenting on it can do any better than speculate.
At least my speculation errs on the side of impatience.
Yours has some vast and malevolent conspiracy, for some unknown reason.

Guess you're just wired that way.

Let's see, you see a dude with 21 day time controls and assume he wants to move fast.
SHURE, it could happen, I TOTALLY see it.

Can you give us some clue what you think was or is unsportsmanlike? Has an opponent discussed a running game at one of the forums? Do you suspect that an opponent is double-dealing you by playing the same game with colors reversed against someone else? Do you suspect that an opponent is using an engine? Or what?

The higher authority is Russ, but I doubt he would intervene on account of a single game or a single grievance.
