Why is there no touch move rule in chess.com

Why is there no touch move rule in chess.com.

thats boring and stupid

there already is kinda, you have to not mouseslip if you count that as an aspect

Yes.

I didn't have much experience in my very first chess tournament and i was not aware about this.So I lost that game.Maybe chess.com can add the touch move as optional

online chess is more like skittles.

skittle?

'skittles' is chess slang for casual games played between rounds at an otb (over-the-board, read in-person as opposed to online) tournament, usually set up for that express purpose.

The question is legitimate.  And it also has a funny side ! 

In regular over the board tournament chess - touch move is not only there - its usually enforced.  And usually by the opponent.
If the opponent's in the bathroom - and therefore not there to call it then whoever might get away without moving the piece.
Is he cheating if he then moves some other piece ?
I would say no.  Part of the idea of touch move is that it would have to be called.
Example:
"I just got back from the bathroom.  One of my friends said you touched your rook and then moved your pawn instead and pressed the clock."
Toucher:  "I said 'J'adoube' which means 'I adjust'.  You weren't here to hear it.  Not my fault."

How's the online opponent going to know you hovered your mouse on a piece?  'Sensors' ??'  Internet connection 'packets' ??  'Cloudflare'?
Dev Team 'Inspect Element Tools' ??  Hahahahahahahahh"   
I think Bandwidth on the server and Game Lag and all the rest of that is already in Enough trouble as it is !
We don't want Touch Move climbing on that Band Wagon.

As for players lazily hovering their mouse on a piece and then moving something else -
they could find they've developed a bad habit when it comes to the Real Chess at a Tournament Chessboard.  !
Touch Move is a Biggie there. 

   

that's a slippery slope. sure (assuming your opponent is away from the board), if you were to touch a piece with or without intent to move it, and simply adjust it, no one around you would probably care. but, making a move and then retracting the piece to its original square like it never even happened will give you some questionable looks (and may even be enforceable if a TD happens to be nearby).

Yes - that could be different.  Especially if the TD is looking directly at you.
Which he/she almost never will be.
I'm not recommending cheating.

But touch move is still supposed to be called.
So is repetition of position.  50 move rule.  And so on.
Even mate might have to be called.  If you don't call it before you touch your piece - and your flag falls first - uh oh.
But then the opponent is supposed to call 'Flag !!' ...

Really people! 

I've got an anecdote.  Friend of mine told me this story.
I hope its relevant enough.  If its not I'll delete it or maybe get bounced.
He traveled to a big tournament.
Was playing his opponent in whatever round.
Had the advantage on the board although not crushing.
Had a big advantage on time.
So the opponent reaches over to the clock - blatantly in front of him - and turns back his clock so he has plenty of time.
My friend went to the tournament director.  Told him he had witnesses.
Which was true.
The TD comes over.
Cheater:  "Hey this guy has his friends just say I turned back the clock. I did not do that."
The TD doesn't do anything.  My friend loses the game and leaves the tournament.

incredibly sad to hear. unfortunately, competition often brings out the worst sides of people and they act in ways that are disrespectful to the spirit of the game. some will take whatever measures they consider necessary to win, even if it means acting unethically. and it's terrible feeling when as a player you can't prove that your opponent is cheating - it defeats you psychologically even if your position on the board is winning. i do wish there were more mechanisms in place to ensure that cheating of this nature in open events was better detected and penalized, as it should rightly be

Maybe in many playing halls nowadays (they're often in hotel conference rooms) they now have security cameras.
They can check it.
That whole thing was a terrible travesty.
The TD was incompetent - he would have known when all the games started and there had to be missing time.

But this is a possibilitiy one has to face whenever one plays in an over the board tournament.  Tournament Director incompetence.
For instance:  This one is hypothetical but I've seen variations on it ...
Its blitz.
Somebody's flag goes down and its called.
But the Down player claims the other player doesn't have mating material.
The player calling flag claims "Hey we've got opposite colored bishops and that's all there is on the board.  It got that way just now.
I can set up mate with that and he could blunder into it.
So I've got Mating Material !"
Now what?  The suspense builds.
Many people would say "what does the Rules say?"  ....
But the point may be missed.
The TD is the authority.  If he messes up its his fault but can be someone else's problem.  Or - somebody else's negative.

As someone who has no issue following touchmove in OTB play and also loves to click on every single piece in online chess, I wouldn't like that. It would make mouseslips even more common than they already are. In OTB generally if you accidentally touch a piece, your opponent can't make you move it but there'd be no way to know online.

Chess.com provides for a takeback option.
But its up to the player.
I never ever allow takebacks nor ask for them.
Its a game.  Nobody Died.
