If my opponent has declared on his profile that his account is being 'sat' is he obligated to tell me who the sitter is? On some maps it obviously helps to know who you are playing.

Thanks in advance for the info.

You can, with the stipulation that the account babysitter is not your opponent in any current game. It is common courtesy to announce in game chat that another player will take your turn(s) during your absence. Babysitters should only do what is necessary to take the turn(s) and should not interact with the community, start or join new games (except for ongoing tournaments). Furthermore, you should only take another player's turn if they are in danger of missing a turn, not for the purpose of gaining a tactical advantage.
So the answer is no...is not compulsory to say it...its courtesy to tell it but if you dont do then its ok
