New Lichess Functions I don't like

I am a fan of Lichess and the many great innovations implemented by Lichess.

However, there are two new functions, I don't like at all. It would be great to have the choice to disable them in the configuration:

  1. After the computer analysis of a game, now the mistakes and blunders are highlighted in colours and ?! ?? symbols on the chessboard.
    Perhaps for the weaker players or beginners this is a nice feature. But for stronger players it is not only useless but can be misleading: Engine analysis is not always helpful, sometimes a human player plays the second best move because this is the best practical choice in the game but Stockfish calls it a blunder.
    Do you really want to present the games of the master database with a lot of RED highlighted blunders according to a short stockfish analysis? To my mind, this is nonsense and does not show much respect towards the games of the masters.

  2. I also don't like the new premove function in the correspondence games.
    For players who use correspondence as an additional way of playing a lot of fast games, this might be useful. But not for those who take correspondence seriously.

It would be nice to have the possibility to disable this in the configuration.

For point 1, you can turn the symbols off. Open the Computer settings hamburger menu in a game, and turn off "Annotations on board"

I didn't play correspondence the last time because the opening book is not working. What's the new premove feature?

Thanks for the comments. I am using the Smartphone App to play games. There I can't find "Annotations on board".

Yes, the opening book in correspondence is still down, at least in the Smartphone App. I mean the premove function that was implemented several weeks ago.

Bye for now, best wishes!
