Okay, I get that you are banning keyboard, but is this really necessary?

btw how is bullet in chess dot com? is KB banned there?

> To me, this is precisely like saying "cars provide unfair advantage over horse-driven vehicles and should be banned". Many computer games use a mouse+kb combo for fastest input. Why can't chess do the same? We've just found a nice, convenient way, and some old-school people want to destroy it. Why?

Yes, cars should be banned in horse races. It's about leveling the playing field.

@nicbentulan I think KB is "banned" on chess.com because noone made an extension for it (I mean, it's not open-source).

In that case, mouses should be banned. Keyboard doesn't tell you the best moves.

Guess so.

Lichess says that it expects more players to play ultra bullet because of the banning of kb.
Let's see if this comes true.

They could have made kb available to everyone instead of banning it.

Get to 2400. Lose games on purpose so as to lose 24 rating points. Then try to regain them.

according to BerserkAsIfUWereMad, the creator of keyboard, keyboard for chess_com would be possible, but it would be a lot of work, since you would basically need to start over, as the UI is completely different.
