Dat is short for that
Pre-Moves should take 1/100th of a second.
I don't understand why someone should expect to win the game if they reach a theoretically winning position but only have one second left. The time control is known and agreed to in advance. If you want to win, make sure you have enough time left on the clock to deliver mate.
1/10 of a second per move is plenty of time, even in bullet.
0.01 sounds right, in otb I've seen people make there moves in 0 secs cause they make there move at the same time as there opponent. that's the main reason why Magnus and penguin play on l*ch***.org ![]()

But Pre-moves aren't designed to take any time, yet you still lose .1 seconds. This means if I have a mate in 15 and SEE IT, but we both only have 1 sec left, I'd still lose. If they are going to have pre-moves, they have to be instantaneous otherwise it defeats the purpose.
agreed. would've saved Eric Hansen and Aman Hambleton 100s of dollars on all the chairs and closets they broke from rage. ![]()
Chess.com used to have it where there were infinite premove and no time penalty. It created 1-minute games that lasted for 10 minutes and had 100s of moves. That is an absolute failure. Chess.com did the right thing in changing how premoves work, except they should only allow one premove per move.
@smyslovfan if live chess had only one premove per move and cost 0.1 seconds, that would be the most boring site I've ever seen...

That's why I said .01, so the max it could be is like 50-100 moves.
then you might be surprised to see this game: https://www.chess.com/live/game/2620387757 it was unrated and we were just testing to see how many moves could a 1|0 game get lol ![]()
I once made a move in 0.0 seconds. I tried to premove, but wasn't fast enough. However, I ended up moving less than 1/10th of a second after my opponent. So I actually made a move without any time being taken off my clock.
I've seen a few examples of other people doing it too.
But I couldn't do it on purpose. ![]()
