Automatic moves on chess.com

Hi - sometimes when I am playing and make a move, my opponent's next move happens instantly, like they have programmed their move as a response to my move. Does anyone know how to do that? I can't figure it out. Thank you.

It depends if you are playing live chess or correspondence chess.

For live chess, premoves are available. You have to enable them in the settings. The way they work is that after your opponent moves, your move will be made, as long as it is a legal move. (Premoves help.)

For correspondence chess, you can set up conditional moves. If your opponent does x, then you do y. If x doesn't happen, no move is made.(Conditional moves help.

Next time you can't figure something out, try the Help section. (There is a link on the bottom of every page.)

How are you accessing the forum? The links worked great when I just tested.

You using the app? That might be the problem.

Edit: I just tried on the app and the links loaded. On Android at least.

Why not just try the Help section? Search for the word "premove" and then later for "conditional".

  iPhone app is no problem. Go to settings, then go to Live Chess. Then enable pre-moves.

The problem is links from the forum opening from the app.

In your browser go to support.chess.com and search for conditional there.

Also, conditional moves can only be made on the web client, not the app.

Hi is there nay option for smart move or auto-move ? suppose you click on a square or a piece the move will be done automatically  if its the only logical  move.

Nay
