Computer fail missclick

After spending 20 mins playing a game I tried to move a piece and it misclicked it and dropped my rook in a big fat danger. Why does this site have sketchy handling like this?

I don't know, try some free downloadable engines. I think arena+Houdini 1,5 is a great combination, but there is probably something better. However, have you heard of Chess Titans? Its a free chess computer game, where Ctrl+Z is takeback. It takes a long time to think on level 10 though.

You mean you miss clicked and dropped your own rook in danger.

Anyway, to save having to blame the game for your errors in future 😛, you can click on the piece and then on the square you want to place it. You don't have to drag the piece.

Alternatively, I think you can set it up so that there is a 'submit' button in live. That way you'd always have to click that to finalise your move. It would hinder you in short time controls, but in the length of game you are talking about here, it would be fine.

Very helpful. Thanks. Maybe rather than drag and drop I need to change that habit and click on the place. It had been quite sketchy, which failed me a couple of times. It seems to be ok now, maybe it was a software update. But it was doing it for about a week

@genghiscant how do you go about setting up the submit button i have scrolled through the settings but cnt find that option
