Proposal for condition move support on mobile

Sort:

I'm relatively new here and generally love all that Chess.com has to offer, but IMO the one glaring lapse is the lack of conditional move support in daily games on the mobile app. I do realize there's a "workaround" of entering the website from the app and meandering to the conditional line UI, but that's such a pain and the UI for it was confusing to begin with.

So rather than just complain about it, I'll propose a simple solution that requires almost no new UI. Here goes:

  • Open a daily game in which it's your opponent's move
  • Make a move for your opponent
  • Some small badge appears on the screen to indicate that you're making conditional moves
  • Additionally, the X | √ buttons appear at the bottom of the screen, just like it does when confirming any other move
  • You can continue making moves (alternating between you and your opponent obviously) without tapping X or √
  • When you've finished making all the conditional moves in the line, tap √ to commit
  • Once committed, conditional moves can't be undone
  • Only one conditional move line is supported

Daily games would be so much more enjoyable and would progress so much faster if this were possible. I don't know how these forums work, but moderators or whatever could you please forward this to the Powers That Be?

Thank you!
