(i meant point 1 second but they edited the title...)

anyway, its a premove, so why does it still take time?

thats also something i only see on chess.com. on other chess-sites premoves actually are premoves with no time-consumption at all.

so why is it chess.com decided it would be a good thing to consume time on premoves?

i mean, you can premove a whole game and still loose on time if your opponent does the same (and every premove for both players works of course)

I guess it's because chess moves have always consumed time in the real world.

If lichess wants to pretend that they don't, that's up to them.
