Take back move


I'm almost sure that there is (or was?) a setting for "Take-back" when you set up the challenge. At least in Daily Chess. I don't play live chess.
Grandmaster Matulovic was so notorious for moving, reaching toward the clock, then suddenly saying "J'adoube!" and retracting the move... that his fellow GMs sometimes referred to him as J'adoubovic.

I posted about takebacks couple days ago.. there should be an option. cant stand playing half a game and its a great position for both of us.. just even spot. . and thennnnn a blunder or slip which ruins the game! what a waste of time and energy that could be resolved witj a simple takeback.. and I know people will abuse the option but its up to the person granting the request so..whats the difference. only issue with it I would have is of there was a pop up that froze or messes up the game.

Otb you control the pieces with your hands,you can't blunder the move you want to do but here from the PC or Phone you can blunder easily.It happened to me yesterday(and many other times)

Quite true, it happens to everyone of us.
It also happens that we really blunder and realize that after having played the move.
Now the problem is : how would you make a difference between these two situations ?
Take back is not chess.

I'd agree with this if two criteria are met: 1. casual non-rated game 2. agreed on by both players.
It can be done under casual games. There is a toggle for takebacks.


We've seen very bad blunders by GMs, who then lost their game.
The opponent often acknowled he was lucky, but I can't remember any of them refusing to get 1 point for the game.
That's chess, whatever the level.

I let people take back moves all the time in casual otb games. Why not here?

Here is the OP actual complaining about.It is not the blunder caused by the wrong reasoning,but caused by a glitch on device.
Well,there is someone long time ago to proposed to doubled the sent button.Which was the second button to ask user consistency on their move.If in the pop up second button they sure of their move,then it was sent permanently.Otherwise,the move could be cancelled.

I do. Blundering is part of the game. It teaches you to be a little more careful next time. Longer time controls help.
