not sure exactly how this will work but just an idea ![]()
Variation Premoves
interesting idea
yeah but probably not practical because atleast when you have only a few seconds left you really can't manage to make premoves like this
This is already a thing in daily chess... It's called "Conditional Moves" were you can do your "Idea." If you dont know were it is, it's above the draw button.

yeah Ik but it is extremely annoying when you need to hover your mouse over something for a long time cause your opponent is just stalling

I understand. Have you been in a situation like this or something?

I hope you realise you can report someone for Stalling / Quitting Games. Its against ToS.

sometimes I have had to wait some 10-seconds hovering my mouse over a square
but in every situation there is always some variations (even if they are likely not to happen) that you would want to premove against
maybe especially good in blitz because time is important but when opp is having a good think you can throw in a few variation premoves!
lol maybe but this point:
and this is even more annoying if white had slightly more time (for example .5 seconds) so he/she will have to hover over there with the mouse for 15 minutes so again if there was a way to make a premove by putting in a variation (Kf8 Qf7 mate and Kh8 Qe8 mate) white could just leave the room and black will have no reason to let his/her time out.
doesnt make any sense!! lol it should take White a max of 1 min to realise that if he has 0.5 secs he should just multi premove Qe5 followed by Qe8 which is mate in both cases!

I guess good point but... mayeb in a blitz game if opp is having a good thought or taking a bathroom break it would be nice to even be ready for unlikely things
and i think technically in live chess its not possible to implement this feature
I guess maybe not
so should we just sign this topic as a FAILURE and try to find a better idea for improvement?!
If you need help, please contact our Help and Support team.
Chess.com should add the feature to make a "variation premove" like in daily games where you can make an additional move.
The idea is for example
(lets just say white has .2 seconds here and black has 18 minutes)
