> @mountbellew @Fastbond @Feridarion there is no skill for people who have kb I will give examples Andrew tang and umutcrazy they have so much skill but they just get beaten because u have a person who just slams there keyboard and they win. Personally I think its only fair to call it cheating
It does give advantage, but I want to point out that there are 3 types of kb available on lichess.
1. Lichess Keyboard (it's default on lichess, without installing any extension): You can find it as 'Input moves with Keyboard' in Game Behaviour section of settings.
This is 100% not cheating, infact it's slower than mouse.
2. Lichess Keyboard Input: Here people press a key and hover their mouse over a particular square to move a piece. It is faster than touchscreen or mouse in single piece endgames. Whether it is cheating or not is a topic many people debate about.
3. Lichess Multi-premove + kb input: This allows to do multiple premoves at a time and this should be considered cheating.
There is a lot of debate among ultrabullet players whether kb should be allowed or not. The only 2 solutions to this problem are:
• The next update of lichess is such that kb won't work at all.
• It is by default available for all players.
I don't think there is a point continuing this forum now.

what I don't understand
IMO, it's in no way cheating, considering Chess.com allows multi-premoves in ANY of their TCs.
I believe, if you can use the keyboard, 'cos it favors you, do.
If you can't learn to play faster. Or prolly change TCs, as that one might be too fast for you.

People use Keyboard only for the extra rating why else would they use it 🙂
So i see it as boost extension it makes people random people faster as Andrew Tang so that give people really a big advantage.
So Yeah that don't feels right to take extra points that way with a extension🙂 so i think using keyboard is unfair except if one typ the moves... 😅

annoying but not cheating
KB is mostly used to spam king moves in an endgame
Keyboard does give random people unfair advantages, but, I guess it's all about honing what you're good at.
Someone like @opperwezen has a bullet winning streak of over 100. Playing him gives him an edge over me, because he's honed his speed skill to that extent. Keyboard will allow me close the gap to an at least, fair advantage. 😁 at least, I'd still be playing based on my knowledge and not using engine assistance.
Keyboard isn't cheating.
