Lost on time despite premoves?

Avatar of WalnutArcher

I've been having difficulties with the chess.com premoves,  if I make a premove it still takes 0.1 seconds to play it witch has tragically lost me completely winning positions in my most extreme example, I lost on time when I Premoved Mate in one. I don't know if it is possible for me to optimize this myself but none the less it's giving me grief.

Help would be appreciated. (:

Premoves will always take at least 0.1 seconds.

A lot of lag can cause them to take longer.

Do you mean that there is no way to fix this??

Or do you mean that there is nothing to "Fix"

In general, premoves taking 0.1 seconds is working as designed.

Lag that may cause them to take longer, has a number of variables can impact that; the one link has some things that can be looked at to minimize potential issues

Yeah, on lichess I can usually squeeze out a few dozen more premoves. It's something you have to account for when you play here.
