Context:
In a recent game, my opponent was extremely slow in the end, so I basically was premoving every move for like 20 moves in a row (all were very easy premoves, and I was clearly seeing the destination square turn blue on my browser on each move). However, I kept somehow losing time, even after seeing my premoves register, and that got me thinking...
Question:
I understand that lag can be a factor, but shouldn't premoves that are visibly registered be guaranteed to not lose any time? I mean, literally, you could just send a boolean along with the move saying "this was a premove, don't remove time from the clock if the move comes in late to the server..." @Lichess devs, I demand answers! (jk jk I'm not some entitled, ungrateful bozo, yall are great, I just wonder why you aren't currently implementing such a simple-looking solution, and I'd love to be corrected if I'm mistaken)
Note:
Here is the aforementioned game link in case someone wants to confirm my claim that the premoves were easy and that I had more than enough time to play them: lichess.org/2QaUU9gQ
