You can't capture kings. Do you mean premove a move on the mobile browser where the destination square is a currently a king?

I’m saying making a capture with my king on an opposing piece that does not place me into check. I should be able to premove my king capturing a piece. Example is my rook is next to my king and the opponent trades rooks (with my king recapturing). The app does not let me premove the capture

I don’t think the app has ever allowed premoves of any capacity.

Rule 1 of playing bullet (I think) is to not play on mobile app unless you have excellent reaction times

Apps support a single premove if enabled. Android should get multiple in the near future.

I have the same issue.

Devs found an issue with premoves and are working on it.

Great! Thanks for the update.

More info: I tested it out more and it looks like it only is an issue when premoving to recapture what captured a rook (other premove captures registered). I could not premove my king onto my rook. Maybe a castling interaction/bug.

The specific situation:

You cannot premove a capture with your king if the square is currently occupied by your own piece. Ive lost plenty of games where my oppenent just captures my pieces putting me in check, and I run out of time because I cant premove and capture back. I hope this is an issue that gets fixed and not a feature, sacrificing all your pieces to win on time is kinda braindead
