opponent not moving

Hi, what should i do when my opponent in a classical game hasn't moved for at least 30 minutes, after loosing a knight? The previous game was making moves quite fast and until my capture of the knight as well.

I mean, I can wait, my main concern is - can i play other games and my most important question: can I make analysis of my OTHER games while still having the game tab open?

(Wow, the captcha is superb!!! wow .. what an idea!!!)
Hello,i think chess means your oppoint can think for every time it have!i undrestand you,its very boring!.
Yes you can play for example 3 games in 1 time!!but its hard😁
And any idea about analyzing games in a different tab? I mean how if lichess would think i am cheating?
Btw. my opponent moved and is playing and made another 8 moves .. so it looks he only went for a lunch :)
And thank you for your replies!!!

Wow ,... I really love the idea with the captcha here ... how about to make it little harder, like #5 or so ... lol :)))
Engine is very bad.
1.your oppoint can repport you
2.yes its fun to see you are win,but its not healthy for your chess
@Ladybug2019 Thank you for your comment. But you don't understand me. I don't want to analyze the game I am playing, but the previous games.
Game goes from your game to the start then back, back and forth constantly once in a while...
As well another glitch you try to set up a game and it doesn't stick. Lichess tries hard but there are
Many issues as of late very glitchy. Not complaining just letting the community know.
@ninjasword ... thnx for comment too ... but i don't understand a single word from what are you saying...

My main concern / question was exactly this: If I am playing looong game with an opponent not making move for tens of minutes, not replying in the chat - so I am thinking he / she might have left / abandoned our game - is it good idea to open another tab, not with another game, but with my previous games and turn the engine on. Will Lichess detect it and consider it as a cheating? It would not be cheating, because I would't be analyzing the very game which is on, but my other games. The hypothetical situation I reach the same position in both tabs apart. Just if someone can answer this.

Otherwise the game is over and I learnt new lesson: If you start 120 minutes game with someone, prepare it could take 120 minutes, lol :)
Lichess doesn't like when you turn on the engine while playing a game, correct. Analyzing a different game without engine is a bit of a gray area, but I would tend to avoid it, especially if the line you played in the opening is similar or the same. I had an issue once where I randomly pulled an opponent I had played before. I was surprised at this, pulled up their profile and opened the old game to see how long ago it happened, and immediately tabbed back w/o turning on the engine. We ended up following the exact same line (some offbeat line in the exchange french where white castles long), and since I still had the old game up and happened to be following it, the server detected a "cheat" and I lost the game. Obviously didn't have any long-term consequences, but was still frustrating.
