So I played an otb tourny about 8 months ago I was 2014 and the player I was playing was 2109. I had a winning positon as white, but when I was about to exchange some minor pieces and go for a won endgame my opponent would go to the bathroom after every move i made. He came back and would make 100 percent accurate move each time and i ended up losing on an endgame I should have won. After every move for 10 moves or more he would go to the restroom, come back, and instantly move. Granite it would take me 10 or more mins to make a move but i just found it ironic that after every move in a crucial position he would hop up and run to the restroom after every move. I could tell he had a cell phone in his pocket, My question is should I have told the TD about this suspicous behaviour or was I just being paranoid?
