No. I guess what I am doing is not exactly what Steve was talking about. I am doing half pre-move, or 'pre-'. What I do is click on the e7 pawn, then put my mouse over e5. If my opponent plays 1. e4, then I just click once and 1...e5 is played (almost) instantly. You could also accomplish the same thing by clicking on the e7 pawn and dragging it to the e5 square and hold it over the e5 square until it is your turn. If your opponent plays 1. e4, then you just let go of the mouse button and it makes the move 1...e5. If he plays another move, like 1. d4 or 1. Nf3, then I make another move normally. >I think that the server should not allow pre-move. >I think that it is simple to do it if the server ignores every information that >you send when it is the move of the opponent except resigning the game. > >I do not think that it is cheating but it is not the game that I play when I >play over the board game. I don't think the server can control it. The GUI could work like this: I make my move, the GUI saves my move and waits until it is my turn, then it immediately sends the move. After playing around with Winboard, I believe this is how Winboard works. So the server never knows that you made your move before it was your turn. I think all the server can do is make all moves subtract at least 0.1 seconds from the clock (or some other small amount of time). That is probably a good idea IMO.
