Premove in Daily Game?

Actually yes: in fact you can string together a whole sequence of moves.  Alas, I haven't played so long here that I don't actually remember how it is done.  I will go hit the articles though and see if I can find out....

Here's an article on premoves, but it doesn't mention daily.  More research...

OK, technically, no there aren't premoves in daily chess; they are designed to save time in live chess and obviously not necessary when you have at least a day to reply.  You can do conditional moves though which amounts to the same thing, but they are only made if your opponent plays a certain move.  Think I'll just give you the article link...

I have done so in many games. In one game, an opponent did this to me for about 5 moves!!

You can also set-up multiple lines. For example, you check your opponent's King and he has only two legal moves. You can set-up a line for each of those moves. You can set it for as deep as you like (as my opponent did for 5 moves). As noted above, as soon as your opponent makes a move not in your line, the game resumes with your move at that point.

Can this be done to prevent losing on time? Let's say i'm in a no-vacation tournament, but will be somewhere where I can't play unexpectedly. I can make multiple lines of conditional moves and after any one is satisfied my clock is reset?

It's called conditional moves

This was the best forum that i've ever read :,)

In correspondence chess, players sometimes use "if any" moves, which are basically pre-moves.  I think this would be a useful feature for Daily Chess and shouldn't be too hard to implement.  The idea would be: when using the screen where you can predict your opponent's next move, include an "if any" option which, if selected, says "it doesn't matter what move my opponent plays, I will respond with..." and then make your move.  Your move will then take effect after your opponent's move, so long as your opponent didn't make a move which makes your move illegal.

I know you can effectively do this now by entering multiple lines, but sometimes your opponent has several possible moves, and entering them all is cumbersome.  Also, if you are allowed to enter several pre-moves (for example, pushing a pawn to promotion) there could be hundreds of possible continuations, but with multiple pre-moves you might only have to enter one line.

It's been suggested multiple times over the years. I don't think I've seen any indication from staff on if it's in the pipeline and just very low priority, or isn't going to be added.

so i played someone who premoved, i would like to know where the setting is cos on daily setting i cannot see "enable premove" like on live games

Yes, you can make conditional moves which are like removes. Conditional moves allow you to set specific future moves to be played automatically if the opponent responds with a certain predicted move.

how is the question

Link still works...

This isn't on the chess.com app that I can see.....please let me know if im wrong! I can always load up the internet and get into chess.com that way, or use the ol pc I guess....but playing on the app using  my tablet is better, especially for blitz/bullet games....which wouldnt apply here except I play puzzles and daily games and either stop because I don't have time to play blitz, or as a warm up to blitz....I'd rather not have to switch between app and web versions...

Correct, conditional moves are not available on the apps.

Yes, but HOW????

Nice response
