Multi-premove function

#1

Several years ago I was still playing a lot of 3+0 blitz on chess.com. It takes 0.1 sec (as I remember) to make a premove, but players may premove consecutively. With this function on chess.com, I managed to hold onto my games even with 5 sec or less. Blitz/bullet beasts such as Hikaru and Tang takes great advantage of this so they had achieved 3400+ rating.
As I started turning to lichess, I found it a really nice software, with all the resources free and available to everyone. The only problem (in my view) is there's no multi-premove function. My home connection is already not good, and there's a delay every time I premove. Almost any result is possible if my clock runs down to less than 10 seconds.
Do you think lichess should add this multi-premove function to chess games?

In addition, games could be much more exciting with this function available.

Totally agree, multiple premoves in bullet especially are really nice.

Lichess premoves are client-side, so if there is a delay for you when you premove, allowing multi-premoves would not solve it.

You mean the delayed time will be multipied by the number of premoves? If not, then I'm not that worried. After all, having one delay within 3 moves is better than having a delay every single move.

lichess is against it, there's more to this on their last FAQ-Stream which can be found on their youtube-channel if I remember that correctly.

I think it would just overload your brain!
