I want to Use submit button to confirm move in live chess on a PC.  I can find that option on online chess but not live chess.  I've tried different versions of chess.com, different OS, different browsers, etc.  I am able to find this setting on mobile for live chess but not for live chess on computer  Please help!

That option doesn't currently exist for the site. It does on the mobile app.

Since I can't use the "submit button to confirm move" setting on pc, and I can use that setting on the mobile version, I'd like to use the mobile version to play in live tournaments on chess.com. Is there a way to do that??

Android has direct support for Live tourneys. The iOS app does not currently have the ability to sign up for tourneys. You can sign up for tourneys on the site and play the games in Live on the app but I don't know how well that works in practice or if that will always work

Is there something so highly technical about programming the submit button for live chess that the programmers can't set it up?

Probably not but it might not be something they want to add or if they are planning on it then something that is low priority.

I just found this out the hard way in a game.  Why was this setting changed?  There's always been a submit button.  I thought I was analyzing and wound up submitting a move.  Luckily, it wasn't the worst move, but I wish I would have had confirmation.
