Hey,
I wanted to go ahead and set up a conditional move, but I was concerned that it might move something I don't want moved.
Have there been any problems with the conditional move feature moving a piece other than what you or someone else told it to do? I am not trusting it to happen correctly.
Please let me know if it has always worked for everyone else.

When you set up the move, there is a box to check if you are willing to accept a draw if offered.
The problem is that if your opponent offers a draw, but does not add a message, you will never know that the draw offer was made.
I had two or three situations when I first joined the site where someone offered me a draw when I had a conditional move in play.
Since the move kicked in automatically, they thought I just ignored them, when I was really oblivious to the whole thing.
Misunderstandings mar the playing experience, so it's nice to avoid them whenever possible-in my opinion, at least!
Beyond that, it works fine, and I use it on a regular basis. It's especially useful when the game is already decided, but the other person wants to continue playing.
