You do. And for the record just because that's your way of learning and you feel as if it has no benefits, that's fine, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the community agrees.
No Take backs?
Sort:
That is true Promise. Main thing is rather than force the way you want to learn on everyone ( same way you are critizing me for my outlook) Please reflect on what you jsut said for a second.
You have the Tactics Trainer here.
You have the Chess Mentor here.
You have tons of information to pour through to help you learn. So once again if take back games are how you do it, stop playing 1/0 games ( for starters) play some online games where that option exists ( which it does).
So far the community seems to be in my court about the option of takeback button as a standard on all chess games. Thank God.
not really. there was a pretty good discussion going on earlier.
Like I saud, there so stuck up it's rediculous
"You have tons of information to pour through..." So keep an open mind.
Can I take back a bad move?
You can... but only if you're playing a "Takeback" game in Online Chess! (There are no take-backs in Live Chess.)
Takeback games are always unrated, and provide a great tool for learners and for those willing to act as guides. Here's how to set one up:
On the Create New Game page, select "game options I select" to see the options underneath.
Then, on the drop-list that says "This is a rated game," click and choose "This is a takeback game" instead (see image above). Proceed to create your game as always.
In a Takeback game, a special "Takeback" control appears under the Chat box & Move list.
Either player can click "Takeback" at any time:
- When it is your move, clicking "takeback" undoes your opponent's previous move; it is their turn again. (Use the chat feature to tell your opponent why you think they should try something different.)
- When it not your move, clicking "takeback" will undo your previous move; it is now your turn again.

I agree. Take backs just make a poor player. We (friends and I) used to do that way back when I was younger and played. When I first started playing here I made abysmal blunders because there was no risk involved in the past. I still suck, but not nearly as badly.
Take backs do nodody any favors, it just inhibits learning how to work through mistakes. or learning at all.
Beginners like "take backs".
I've taught quite a few friends and relatives how to play chess. When doing so, I taught them the proper way to play chess. You touch it, you move it. You let it go, it stays there. Of course, the moves must be "legal", as well.
Do I care if some people playing a friendly game break the rules of chess? No. None of my business. Unless, of course, they play me.
If I teach someone, I would like them to know what they are doing instead of making an ass of themselves when they play others so that when asked "Who taught you how to play?!" I won't mind if my name is mentioned.
En passant, rules for castling, getting the white square in the right-hand corner, putting the Q on it's same colored square, not confusing where the N & B goes, knowing how to choose who get white or black, knowing when and how to resign...this is all stuff that should be learned sooner or later.
I vote for sooner.

TELL ME, DO FIDE UNRATED GAMES HAVE TAKEBACKS???
Yes. Yes they do. And you get an unrating afterwards based on the move(s) you and your opponent should have made.
I dont, I hope you realize how foolish you sound. Find some people, play some unrated games so you can learn and understand. Buy a chess book, get a board, play some games alone with yourself and against yourself.
I for one play rated and unrated games, but not take back games, if anything I learn from mistakes, try to work around mistakes and if me and my friend(s) decide to replay a interesting game again. We start from the opening move and replay it move by move in a fresh game. Different strokes for different strokes but here is the best advice I can give you :
Man/Woman up, pull up your Dora Panties and get to playing some chess !
