chess.com should allow illegal moves and allow people to claim illegal moves

That would just get rid of premoves.

Let's say you have a king and a pawn against 5 queens. You then make an illegal move and your opponent premoves a move back which is now illegal. Your can claim an illegal move and win even though you're dead lost.

Then it would be hard for newbies to learn and play chess

I dont think thats a factor.

But again, it flat out makes online chess a worse experience for no reason and I dont see why that would be a good idea.

Maybe as an option for people who want this, though I doubt that would be many people.

sounds like it would create more chances to swindle for the losing side then. the winning player can't premove all his moves.

do you know even a bit on how hard coding is?

Considering i have a masters degree in cs and already coded a functional chess game, it is incredibly easy. The only difficult part about programming chess.com games is the netcode, not the logic of the game itself.
