    [Event "US Open Championship"]
    [Site "Phoenix AZ USA"]
    [Date "2015.08.06"]
    [Round "04"]
    [White "Miller, Matthew"]
    [Black "Sloan, Sam"]
    [Result "1-0"]
    [ECO "A00"]
    [WhiteElo "2209"]
    [BlackElo "1957"]

    1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5 fxe5 4.Qh5+ Ke7 5.Qxe5+ Kf7 6.Bc4+ d5 7.Bxd5+ Kg6 8.h4 h6 9.Bxb7 Bd6 10.Qa5 Bb4 11.Qxb4 Bxb7 12.Qxb7 Nd7 13.Nc3 Ne7 14.d3 Rf8 15.b3 a5 16.Be3 Kh7 17.Qb5 Ng6 18.O-O-O Nxh4 19.Rxh4 Qxh4 20.Qxd7 Qf6 21.Qf5+ Qxf5 22.exf5 Rxf5 23.Rh1

    These are two identical twin brothers that not only look alike but they have almost exactly the same rating which is about 2220. I had to play both of them with the Black pieces in successive rounds.

    They should make a rule against this.
