Again, you're arguing that they ARE different.
We know that they ARE different.
Stop telling us stuff we already know.
If you're ready to have an argument on whether they SHOULD be different or the same, lmk
Daily chess is based on correspondence (or postal) chess. That format has conditional moves and players that play that style of chess expect conditional moves. They help the games move on more quickly which is very important for games that can take months to play, even at 1 day per move.
If someone already knows what they're going to play, in response to their opponent moves, or some subset of moves, then it allows the game to continue, without additional input, until the game deviates. It save player effort and time.
In addition, in any daily game, it should be expected that you'll have at least the time control to think about moves, even without conditional moves, as your opponents can make their moves almost immediately after you make yours, which is not functionally different.
This is not helpful Martin. Not relevant to the conversation at all. We all know what conditional moves are and how they're helpful. Your explanation is just a waste of space. Please get with the conversation or be quiet
