I just had an odd idea. What if the site automatically made your opponent's next move when they only have one legal move? I don't know if this has come up before, but it would be an interesting idea. Any thoughts???

It has come up before. Two reasons against it: Your opponent might want to offer a draw; or your opponent might not be able to find the only legal move and would therefore either resign or run out of time.

It is too artificial like game for my taste then. If I have only one legal move which leads to some disaster for me, at least I want to play it out with my own hands together with sad smiley I would send to my opponent.

However, if you want automatical moves, send feedback and ask for conditional move option, they will provide it for you.
