Multi-Premoves

I think having multi-premoves would be a great feature, especially in bullet and hyperbullet where in an endgame you would be able to easily checkmate without losing any time. I get that premoves are supposed to be one move ahead like in over the board chess but still I think many players would appreciate having multi-premoves.
Agreed: In bullet, multiple pre-moves are practically useful and also in my view make the game more fun, because it's a cool skill to finish a game that way. As a side effect, they make for excellent and impressive videos. Of course, it's not clear how technically hard it is to implement this.
What kind of multiple premoves are we talking here?

1) You can premove a piece many time (for example, setting arrow for one pawn to run to the backrank and to queen it)
2) Premoving many pieces once (setting arrows for many moves, if the first premove doesnt work, the second will be executed and so on).
3) Any other option of multiple-premoves

For the technical part: is this not a graphical inteface feature? Is it even possible to implement this in an browser?

Berserk my friend :)
Thanks for all the work you do!

But still it didnt respond my question: how those multiple-premoves will are going to work.
As mentioned, I have seen different kinds of those.

In agreement with #2 - it is a cool skill to finish the game that way!
Well that way?! Finish the won game at all, since getting flagged pretty often here...
And would like to be able to mate with 2 queens using 0 seconds. :)

Also; thinking about the keyboard discussion: it shouldnt be an extention, it should be something available to all, in the main settings of the account. (like premove on/premove off).

Multi-premoves are having nothing to do with normal chess. Please don't allow this.
