Is online chess real? Premove and smart move, and auto-queen are things unique to online chess. Most use these features, and in a very fast game they produce results, so much so that if you don't use them you are handicapping yourself, and your bullet rating will be way below your slower game rating. In my post I meant the interface went on it's merry way playing games by itself under my handle, with no interaction by me. For this I got into trouble with the server.Incidentally, LCHESS played shocking games, losing one out of two to a weak player. I normally use 'Thief'. A rather nice interface, and I'll stay with it. regards Lin
