Premove on Mobile is Not Equal to Premove on Website

[S1M0N38]

I noticed a small difference between lichess.org and the mobile app (v0.8.17) when premoving pieces. I play using drag & drop on both mobile and browser.

On lichess.org

On the website, I can make a premove. While the premove is active, I can pick up another piece to be ready to move it. Effectively, I've set up a premove and then prepared:

• For the move after the premove (if the premove is played)
• For an alternative move (if the premove is not played, e.g., a premoved capture cannot be played)

On Mobile

I tried to replicate the same on the mobile app. I set up a premove. When I grab a new piece to be ready for when the premove is resolved, the premove gets canceled.

---

To recap, on mobile, I cannot grab a new piece until the premove is resolved; otherwise, it gets canceled. This does not occur on the browser.

I think this difference might be negligible in most situations but could become advantageous for players using the browser in time scramble situations.

Right, it is important to have the same behaviour here.

+1 on this one, the old app has this function and it's crucial for faster time controls.
