Multiple Premoves on Phone

Sort:
Dielissen

Hello there,

While playing on PC you are able to queue multiple Premoves while on the Android app you can only queue one move at a time. Can this be updated? Frequently in short time controls my opponents win with less than 0.5 seconds on their clock, obviously making a great deal of continuous premoves--fingers on a phone screen with one premove cannot compete and while my clock slowly goes down my opponents quickly goes up to 6 seconds and then 10. This is a significant and unfair advantage and when I review games with timestamps it is obvious and disheartening. Please implement this for the phone apps, some of us exclusively play on mobile (me because I travel for work and don't own a laptop).

Thank you in advance

There's apparently an issue with how apps work in conjunction with the touch screen that won't allow it.

Mobile web allows multiple premoves, due to the ability to queue up taps in the browser, which may be useful for you. However, you have to refresh to cancel them, or arrowing back through moves may as well.

Oh I see, well that makes sense then, at least there is a technical explanation for it, and not an oversight. Thank you for the information happy.png
