Opponents moving almost instantly

 I've been losing games where I have a big time and material advantage, and the opponent makes moves so fast their remaining time doesn't materially decline.   When looking at the move replay, the moves on the other side are happening so fast only .1 second was being removed from their timer.  An opponent made nearly ten moves in 1 second.  Am I missing a feature where I can queue up the next move without moving my mouse and clicking it?  It's like the opponent switches on some turbo mode at the very end so I lose on time no matter what. I've seen it twice now in the past week.

Go to Settings > Live Chess and enable pre-moves. This allows you to pre-move when it is not your turn yet.

Hi , there is a catch here....if you pre-move , to be pre-move you got to be 0.1sec click move mouse -otherwise it wont be "pre-move" , as your opponent is 0.1sec on every of his moves.

How can you prove without knowing the opponent's next move? You could pre-move into a square and lose your piece.

Pre-moving can be tricky and you must be careful not to make a mistake.

You have to be careful when making pre-moves, because it is about predicting your opponent's next move. Can all be done seconds .

Who do you think invented the excuse of pre-moves ? When in fact it is a chess bot. It is not logical to pre-move before your opponent has moved. You would lose every time.

Yes, it is logical. Premove recaptures, or after checks, when your opponent MUST move that.

It's not logical when it's 10 moves in 1 second. No one can premove that fast, even if by some fluke they get all 10 moves right.
