Pre moves should be banned
Sort:
I play chess for 25 years and still cannot find one reason why pre moving should be legal. In real life chess they don't exist. To play 10 moves in 1 seconds is absurd and absolutely unfair to the players with even a little bit slower connection. In the end,the only players benefiting are the ones in losing positions with fast internet. It has nothing in common with real chess when a players moves 30 moves in 3 seconds with no time addition.
I have 40k games in online chess and it's only my opinion based on playing and watching pros. Nothing about it benefits a better players,only gives an absurd chance to players in totally losing positions which usually they resign. 30 moves in 3 seconds or 50 in 5 is same as playing against bots. Stupid example,but if you play Call of Duty and somebody hits,kills you trough a wall, that's zero skill.
We are losing the whole idea behind it.

Your playing bullet. If you cant move fast enough than that's your problem. Play something slower. I get your concern if your a rapid player. But come on, it's bullet, the game is based on speed, pre moves are a big part of the game and have been for a very long time.
I agree

Premoving is a risky but rewarding ability that is mostly only used in bullet, to either try and flag the opponent or get a time advantage, if you can predict what the opponent will play, you have the ability to play those moves instantly. Additionally, pre moving isn’t only used by players in a losing position trying to flag, it can also be used by players who have low time in a winning position. It’s an important part of speed chess as a whole and if you got rid of it, flagging would be MUCH more annoying.
