Conditional moves is a stupendous feature on chess.com for games played in the daily games format. Effectively, it allows you to program in pre-moves, and it can really help speed the format along, especially in the opening, and also where there are highly predictable or a line of forced moves. However, I almost never see this feature used by my opponents in the daily games that I play, most commonly in intra- and inter-club tournaments.

I recently flexed on an opponent by programming in the entire “oh no my queen!” trap line in the von Hennig Gambit against the Caro-Kann, and it worked! 😂
