So the problem is premoves?
chess.com supports cheating
Sort:
Ok, the problem is pairing, not cheating
I mean if cheating is still the problem then this thread is doomed

Years ago, I got someone who was down to about 1.1 seconds and I had over a minute. They moved 10 times and won the game. It definitely wasn't premoves because after 5 moves I started playing ridiculous moves and the engine they had hooked up responded correctly. Afterwards I complained and I was told it was lag but that was impossible because it was in real time and there was no lag. Chess.com can be really dumb.
this thread will be blocked btw

MrChatty if you don't pair people on level field then you favour one of them and this is cheating giving the player unfair advantage.

Optimissed. if this is blocked then chess.com proves that it doesn't care about fair play pairing on level field
Premoving is not cheating

Premoves are not cheating if both parties play premoves but if one of the parties paired with someone who has different settings then it's not fair play on level field. All I want to see is equal settings for all players. You can call it whatever you want but surely not fair play.
If my opponent premoves and still wins... I dont blame my opponent
Anyway you may contact the support and suggest that feature
Sometimes it works:

Premoves are not cheating, you choose to play with or without them. If you feel that it's a disadvantage to play without them, turn them on. What is true cheating is that on the Android app and the website, there are multiple premoves and conditional moves, on the iOS app, none of them.

If you play at 5 mins per game or slower, premoves don't affect it much.

Fet Why don't you choose to play without premoves? You have this option too. You choose premoves because this feature gives you advantage over the opponent. Chess.com should pair people with the same settings.

Optimissed So can the Italian soccer team play against England with 15 players for half an hour? Just because less playing time wouldn't give much advantage to the Italian side.
