In my opinion, the pre-move option is ludicrous, especially in blitz. I just played a game where my opponent made at least 10 moves in approximately .1 seconds - with .7 seconds left. Complete inanity. Just randomly selecting squares.
Seriously? This is insane. There has to be a better way .....
But we're humans, Just a bunch of monkeys on a big blue spinning ball .
Insanity is not a rare occurrence.
Just accept that super fast chess is not quite chess, and play chess rather than not-quite-chess.
What’s the problem anyway? If the opponent was about to flag, then just play thoughtful moves and win the game. If you both were about to flag, next time choose a time control that better suits you.
If the opponent was about to flag .... well, that's just it. They can't flag. It seems to be an abuse of the system to be able to artificially suspend time.
If not getting rid of pre-move, there should at least be an option to disable it in one's games - the same way you can disable takebacks, etc ...
@rdaysky if super fast chess is not quite chess in your opinion in my opinion slow chess is not quite chess in my opinion :P
No premove = even more brainless chess in 1+0 and 3+0 since being ahead on the clock will be everything.
Edit: pretty funny suggestion on a 0.0 sec premove server

Lol its not an abuse of the system. If you can't handle the speed which players move then move to a slower time control. It's simple really.
One feature of online chess is what is known as the premove. You see this on every server and you won't be able to get rid of it. It is quite different from the takeback feature. If you want your opponents not to premove, play rapid games or go to a chess club where premoves aren't allowed :)
There is actually an option in settings to have premoves off. If you don't want to premove, you don't have to. Maybe there can be an option to only play those who have premove off if that is what you want.
