if you play 3/2 why don't you have enough time to stare at your smartphone for 5 min? also, i don't see a play button anymore when watching a game.
Automatically play forced moves when mate is pre-moved - live chess

I play mostly 10/0. But do you think it is reasonable that I have to have my screen on the game page for 5 minutes when the game is already won, i.e., the oponent has only forced moves and I have pre-moved the mate? Or that if I mistakently turn off the screen, I lose a game where there is a forced mate already pre-moved? I don't think it is reasonable.
Ok, I've read some topics about auto play forced moves, and it seems there is generally no consensus.
But I feel there is a specific situation where moves should be auto played and the game should end immediately: when the forcing player pre-moved till mate.
We've all lost minutes of our life due to a jerk that took several minutes to make a forcing move when we even had the mate pre-moved. Or many seconds because the guy abandoned the game in the same situation.
One can't even go on doing other things on our mobile device, under penalty of losing the game by abandonment ourselves. A game that we already won. Once I pre-moved all moves till mate and put the phone in my pocket. I must have hit the button and the screen went off. I lost the game.
It's outrageous that we can lose games with a forced mate pre-moved, and it's a waste of time otherwise.
Please... if we pre-move a forced mate, please give us the game and let us move on...
Thank you!
