That both players desire to move "logically first" argues strongly that neither one will; that the resolution here does not involve any particular fixed global logical order of decisions.

...possibly employing mixed strategies, by analogy to the equilibrium of games where neither agent gets to go first and both must choose simultaneously? But I haven't done anything with this idea, yet.
