Automatic moves in Daily Chess

Sort:
roseknowsbest

Can we add an enhancement to daily chess where if there is only 1 legal move in the position, that move is made automatically by the server? Or at least have it as a configurable option?

I can understand that in some positions, it may be valuable for some players to decipher that there is only 1 legal move.

For instance, I would love for my opponent in the following position to go ahead and make his one legal move!

You can make conditional moves in daily chess. Basically you can set up a whole tree of "if my opponent moves here then I'll move here." And the moves will be made automatically.

I don't know how to do it though. But I'm sure if you look around you'll find it.

Although auto-moving for the opponent, I disagree with, as even if there is only one legal move it's still up to them to figure out that they only have one option. Others have suggested this and it's never gone anywhere.

At least with conditional moves you can forget about the game for a while if their responses are obvious/forced.
