Watched your game before I fell asleep. Saw you make a pre-move!
The rapid ones? Oh I do premove in those all the time, even "non-safe" premoves which cost me so many games. Not really care much about them.
I was talking about conditionals in Daily time controls. I almost never use them there, but have done it from time to time.
Timing out is rude and is explicitly against chess.com's sportsmanship policy:

You can get sanctioned for doing it and I hope you will.
Premoves are fine. Conditional moves (which had existed in the actual correspondence chess before online daily chess became a thing) are fine. I do not understand why this thread even exists.
why do you have a problem with premoves
they can only ever be benefical to you
your opponent is risking more then your ego being hurt by them premoving
In daily chess I prefer to play on much longer than others. But if you review my losses by checkmate you will find a number of them with (mostly forced) conditional moves leading up to the checkmate so the opponent didn't need to waste days waiting for the result.
On the other side of the coin I've gone back into games to find them ended after 4-6 conditional moves resulting in my opponent resigning or being mated.
#64 Not really. Besides we are talking about conditionals in Daily time controls. Even if Im incredibly shocked as I have never been in my entire life by your capture ... I still have several days to recover before I make my move xD
