How to enable conditional moves ?


Hi ! According to the support page , i should be able to use conditonal moves, but i can't find the open a new screen button... Am i missing something obvious ?

When using the full website, I can't find that button, and I am losing all my bullet games looking for it Do you think you could send a screenshot for to see exactly what it looks like ? Thank you all for trying to help i appreciate it

You can't do conditional moves in live chess, you can only do them in daily chess. What you can do in live chess is using premoves, where you do a move no matter what your opponent do as long as its legal. To do this you need to first enable it in your settings under "live chess" and then it is just moving your piece during the game

In my response (#5), I was referring to "daily chess".

i was commenting post #6, not post #5.

Oh okay, thanks Malaceth for the info :) It would be fun though, doing it live chess ^^
I agree it would be helpful in live chess. With a time control of 15/10 or larger (especially stuff like 45/45) you often have a "if he does A I want to do X, if he does B I want to do Y..." and it would be nice to just be able to lock those in as you are eliminating those variations from your thinking.

I still did not understand how conditionial moves work.

I don't understand, it is not working for me
You can only make conditional moves on your opponent's turn and the feature is not available on the apps.

I have a 1 day daily game and it is my opponents move.
I cannot enable conditional / pre moves
I can find the setting, but when I toggle it and click save, it closes settings, then it does not really save that new setting

I often use this feature in daily chess games to analyze a current position after a move. Is this not a form of "cheating" compared to OTB chess? I mean it is allowed to be used but this feature offers substantial help with calculating the next moves.

You still have to calculate the moves - you can use self analysis in your daily games, you just can't use engine assisted analysis
