7 moves in one second possible

Hi.

I was wondering how my opponent could do seven moves in one second? I never remembered being able to do that or seen anyone else do it online. Is it human to do it?

It is the end of this game lichess.org/30QW841T/white#114

that's very easy to premove, so easily possible in less than a second.

Not surprised you don't play bullet.

It is possible to pre-move, which is when you move your piece or pawn to its destination square while it is not your turn. If one does this and one's opponent does not, then ipso facto that move takes 0 seconds. Sometimes it is possible to win on time (this is called 'flagging') if one's opponent pre-moves something that isn't legal because of what one does on one's own move. In this position, your moves do not make any difference to your opponent therefore your opponent can safely premove everything up to and including checkmate. You could have tried playing g4 followed by gxf5+ rather than just moving your king back and forth: needing to play Kxg5 might have consumed such time as remained on your opponent's clock.

So does people pre-move only with the mouse or also with the keyboard? I think I prefer 0.2 seconds would be fair for pre-moves if developers could change it to that as that feels more human.

Dude, if you start playing UltraBullet, you'll see even worse. Can't remember the number of times I've nearly had a heart rate increase to unhealthy levels due to the intensity of people making 7 moves per 0.5 seconds. And worse, it's like that the whole game.

but if you have lag then it might take 0.1-0.3 secs

or you are playing on chess.com
there every premove is 0.1 secs

Ah, I see. Yeah I tried diamond on cc so maybe was used to that. So here it is 0 seconds. Seems like the easy solution development wise.

If you make pre-moves, then this is quite possible, it all depends on the accuracy of your opponent’s moves

Here I managed todo nine moves in 0.0 seconds. It should take one second on the clock I think to feel more human. lichess.org/h8Ob0RgD/white#164
