Premoves and conditional moves are not exclusive - you can do conditional moves on recaptures and forced moves.

However, the amount of time it would take you to specify a conditional move in live chess makes it completely useless, especially because you'd be in serious time trouble to even need to do such things.

All I`m proposing is making their move on the board, then making yours, for example in common opening lines such as e4,e5,Nf3,Nc3 and in the morphy`s defense variation of the Ruy Lopez you could put up conditional moves of Ba5 and Bb4 to save time in short 1min Bullet games.

If enough people want this, then the chess.com team might be persuaded.

(I only want a 1 line conditional moves tool)

The reason people don't want this is because they'd never use it in 1 minute. It's just too slow to have to make your opponent's move. By the time you start doing this, it's already your turn usually.

 

And that's my point - the reason you'd want stuff like conditional moves etc. is to save time. But the implementation of conditional moves costs you too much time to begin with.
