Fastest move?

What’s the quickest you can make a move? It takes me 4 tenths of a second on my iPhone. I just played someone who was taking 2 tenths of a second for half a dozen moves at the end. I won on time but nearly lost cause his new Queen was running the board after I dominated the game and got lazy cause I thought I had the game in hand.
I believe .1 second is the fastest calculable by this site as that is the time removed by a premove unless I’m mistaken.
Thank you! I had never heard of a premove before. Now I wonder how many more games I could have won with it being enabled.

Obvious recaptures is the best use, as the move will be cancelled if your opponent doesn't capture.

When I hover a piece during my opponents turn (all I have to do is release the mouse button to move it) the longest it seems to take is 0.5, but 0.2 is more like you were trying to make a premove, but the opponent moved too quickly, so you didn't get it down to 0.1
If someone literally made 6 moves in a row, all at 0.2, then that's really suspicious (any time a string of moves are played at the exact same rate it's suspicious, but 0.2 in particular is an odd one). But you were probably exaggerating a little.
Thanks for the input. Let me clarify, each move in succession took .2 so they were using premove, especially since I couldn’t defend against their queen who was just taking pawns.
A few times on chess.com, in blitz, I have been able to move in 0.1 seconds without premoving, but only because of hovering (and even then it usually takes a few tenths of a second). Realistically though, without hovering or premoves - a few tenths of a second is realistic (assuming you know what move to play if your opponent plays x). Of course, this is not counting the first move of the game; chess.com always begins the clock when White moves at move one (so technically this is the fastest).
