Premove Problem

Sort:
joshgregory7

Here is a game that I was forced to draw, because when I try to premove during play for a large amount of moves the system doesn't allow me to move anymore.  This is not the first time this has happened to me and not the worst either.  In other situations I lost easily won games(rook and promotable pawns vs pawns that couldnt move).  Could someone explain this?

premove? what is it?

a premove is a feature on live chess that is supposed to allow you to move before your opponent moves (for fast games or forced lines). 

rainbowraising- i have done 8 premoves in an opening so i know that isnt the problem...it happens when both people are moving fast and i was only going one to two moves ahead

i was hoping for a staff member to answer this

i guess i will just give up on premoves since they ruin my games.  (normally i wouldnt post this, but im hoping that a staff member will come across the new post)

I think you can make many premoves, as evidenced during openings of bullet games.   Of course,  the string of moves stops when a rule of chess is violated when the opponent makes a thwarting move.    As for the endgame rush,  that issue becomes more pronounced.
