Does Lichess allow 3rd party software?

@Funkmaus You are really funny.

Having good equipment or good connection and using 3rd party software are not the same.

aaand I didn't know that I could play at a slower time control if I wanted to. Really thank you. :)
@CalbernandHowbe why not?
Imagine we both have kings + I have a,b,c,d pawns. I can make my pawns forward pressing "w"and only sweeping my mouse on rank 4, 5, 6 without deciding what pawn I want to use for my next move. This is the point.
But why would you want to sweep the pawns forward randomly? It certainly dorsnt give an advantage.
The main point is-: it’s not illegal according to lichesss, and it’s free and available to everyone who has a computer and chrome . So it’s not unfairz
@gbtami
Ultra-Bullet is random! Have you seen openings those crazy guys play?
Have you seen that they have replaced the pieces with geometrical forms?
Their strategies are completely others as we - OTB-Chessplayer - only can think of!
I just think that they should have their fun, in their variant! :)

I know about the random moving option of the kb; and understand that this feature is a grey zone.
But, I cant imagine that that method can be fast; since you have to press many keys, since you have to move around with your mouse much. (maybe experienced kb user correct me?!)
Also, that the kb breaks with 2 queens - so you cant premove-mate with it.

Well, there should be an official reply whether the kb is allowed or not.
This is why I am in this thread, why I have installed that evil thing. I am losing many games on time in blitz, hence wanted become faster... and not interested in making random moves with "computer-input-assistance"!

Allright; am funny :) Can live with that, thanks!

"But why would you want to sweep the pawns forward randomly?"
Because if I have only 0.01s on my clock I want to move as fast as I can. And if i don't have to use time to decide what pawn to push (because sometimes your king may block one) I will have a clock advantage compared to the case when I had to act twice because my premove failed.

"It certainly doesnt give an advantage."
It certainly may give time advantage sometimes.
Why does anyone care? It's ultrabullet. It's Hell's sewer on a chess board. Every move is like a turd floating passed your eyes at snorkle-mask level. If you love the stink of ultrabullet, why not throw a hundred pigs into the sewer and let them fart to high heaven?
@BerserkAsIfUWereMad "you can still decide which pawn to use" is not what I'm talking about.
The key is "One of them is getting chosen". This is the computer assistance.
