I am looking for a way to automatically submit move before time out in Online games. Here is scenario - 

1. I have some move in mind which i think would be appropriate as my next move only in case I cannot come up with something more nice.

2. So I wanted somehow system remember this move and would play for me before time out.

3. This way i can submit one move and do not have to worry about time out. Also will have flexibility to change it later with sometihng more nicer move before actual time out. 

Something kind of "Conditional move" with difference here condition is time out.

There are frequent complaints about stalling. If the site aided this behaviour, with the practitioners having no fear of timing out, the angry mob would be calling for blood.

You can at least record your plans in the "notes" tab so you recall it better when the deadline approaches.

Or play longer time controls

Thank you for this tip ... it will come handy :)

How about a slight variant on this: If I'm about to time out, the system selects a RANDOM move for me?
