What's wrong with pre-move capture?

Thanks! :)

Finding live games at any time control takes too long to get paired up, have waited over 5 minutes with no luck to find a 3-0 game from the list of preset time controls, even tried 5-0 to see if it makes a difference but still no luck. Tried different times of the day, still no luck. But when I go on my PC and play live chess on the web version then I get games with no more than 5 seconds wait time. On the very few occasions that a succesful pairing does happen then it seems to work well. The premove function does not always work and like brod56 says it seems that captures don't register. Also you can't cancel a premove before your opponent moves so if you realise that the premove is a blunder you are stuck with it.

For example, when I expect that my opponent will capture my bishop, I can't premove a piece to go to that square (where the piece that will be captured is still there). In web version, I can do that.

Hope you understand!

Still a lot to do with premove in Live Chess. Capturing a piece with premove still doesn't work and a premove spends 2 seconds of the total time, when it should only spend about 0.1 seconds.

Please try to improve that. Thanks!

Premove is used in about 99% for possible recaptures and probably only 5% for other types of moves so currently premove is of no use to the player. Say if my opponent plays 1.d4 and I reply 1..d5 then I expect that they will play 2.c4 and I have my premove as 2..dxc4 which works in the iOS and Android versions but not in the WP8 versionFrown also canceling a premove is hit and miss.

We'll try to improve pre-move. Thank you!

So you can't enable vacation?

Thanks!

No..... I couldnt i almost timed out because of it but then i just went to chess.com from google and it was fine. If you had an app that would enable the user to access the social features of the site, it would go viral. just saying. <you could then charge a small fee for that too.>
