Premoving In Daily Chess - Conditional Moves?!

Sort:
FlashyFerrari

Hi guys, I've been playing a lot of Daily recently and I have encountered some players who use 'conditional moves' - like premoves in Live Chess, where it immediately responds to my move. I am curious and want to know how to do this. Any ideas?

You need to be on the website, not the app. It’s the second button under the move list on the right-side.

So premoves are possible in daily? From the website. Just had it done to me...

Yes, the button I mentioned above only shows up after your move. It looks like a line forking into two arrows. You can create multiple conditional lines and as long as your opponent makes a move along that line it will automatically play your next move.

It's not really a pre-move, it's a conditional move, i.e. a programed response to your opponent's move....and you can have a list of them ready for different moves your opponent may make on any specific turn. I use them sometimes either to keep the game moving along when you are almost sure what the opponent will do, such as a piece re-take, when I have taken some time to calculate what I will do in response to a certain move and don't want to forget my train of thought, which happens when you are 63, and when I have a forced checkmate in a few moves.

I like conditional moves. If I'm playing the Sicilian, I can use conditional moves to get to standard positions in the Open Sicilian. If my opponent doesn't choose the Open Sicilian, I haven't lost anything. If my opponent plays 1...c5 to my 1. e4, then I will make conditional moves 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4.
