online chess feature suggestion

There should be an option to allow the player to make conditional moves regardless of the opponent's move. This is particularly useful in some endgames, where, no matter what move the opponent makes, all you need to do is keep pushing a pawn. This can be accomplished with the current functionality, but requires the user to input conditional moves for a large number of possible variations.

Much like pre-moves work in Live chess.  I would like to see this as well.

Another conditional moves feature that would be good is the recognition and collapsing of multiple lines that transpose to a common position back into a single conditional line from that point forward.

As long as wildcard isn't the ONLY option in online chess!

Erik has previously expressed interest in the idea of wildcard conditional moves.

then why hasn't he implemented the wildcard system?

I'd guess the likely reason is the many competing priorities.
