Does anyone else use conditional premoves in correspondence games?

#1

I haven't played a tonne of correspondence games (24 on Lichess and 32 on Chesscom) but I like using the conditional premoves feature. Just makes sense in my view especially when there are very clear lines (like recaptures or response to being checked). I also sometimes add a few lines with 6 or 7 moves in the endgame when there are not a lot of possible moves for the opponent and it happens that I predicted four or five moves correctly, speeding up the game.

However, I don't think I have seen a single opponent that only used a single premove in those 56 games. I'm just wondering to what extent the feature is used? Do you use it? If not, why not?

I occasionally use it and it's really nice, especially in the opening. But I don't play a lot of correspondence.
