Suggestion - Multiple Premoves

It will be great if you can make several premoves at once, for example : If I play(as black) the moves g6 Bg7 b6 Bb7 begore the game starts, the will be played automatically in this order as the game progresses, it can be really useful, especially in bullet in some opposite color bishop endgame where no one can make progress and people are just playing to flag each other, you can make Kb3-Kc2 many times at once, and it will save time. chess.com has the same feature and it helps alot, hope you can consider it, Thanks for the great job!
I really like this idea. Would create some insane endgames.
Lichess have already this feature, but only for correspondence games.
I do not like that. It is an additional instrument to flag somebody. The guy who can first establish a cuple of premoves is winning because the others clock will ticking the whole game. That is not good for chess and would also be very different from normal chess.

The bullet games in lichess are already pretty dirty, this makes all the fun! at least for me, I think more spice to some crazy falging super-fast dead-drawn endgames will be fun
@FlyingQueen I agree

This is what lichess devides to chessbase, chess24, chess etc.

They are not just non profit, ads free, slick and fast paced. It's the whole "feeling" when playing bullet, the movement of the pieces.

In my opinion this is another level compared to any software out there.
#9 multiple premoves on chess.com is really obnoxious. It's annoying to know that a 12 year old is spamming terrible moves throughout the opening, but gets away with it in the end because of time. I would only consider multiple premoves as an option for casual players or something.
Here's my two cents:
* This discussion is mainly focused on games without increment, a game which appeals both to chess players and "pinball" players.

* Many players (most notably GMs Nakamura and Ashley) popularize chess games without increment.

* Addiction to no-increment hinders one's chess development, and while may players enjoy it many players also get deeply emotional while playing it. Some even remain deeply emotional for hours or days after playing!

* Players always have the choice to use an increment, and those who favor no-increment chess would probably like multi-premove capability.
