Taking back premoves

Sort:
jaisgossman

How does one take back a premove that's been made in a live game?  Suppose you make two moves ahead of time in a bullet game, but the second turns out to be not so good, and you want to negate it.  Is there any way to do this in a live game, that is "undo" a premove?

No, it's not the same at all.

You can't unheat an oven, but you should be able to cancel a premove if it hasn't yet been played.

If it hasn’t been played yet, just click the piece you had selected to premove, and it’ll stop the premove.

A premove sequence is set by moving the pieces you want to move to squares you want them to.  To cancel the sequence, click the right mouse button.

right-click anywhere on the board

it doesn't matter if you can do it, taking back premoves is ethically wrong and morally unjustifiable

Nice try, troll.  Go back to troll school.  Hey....if you ask around, I think there may be some canned cheese and crackers you could have if you ask nicely.

For some reason the right-click does not work for me, is that beta board maybe that is having issues?

It will stop working sometimes if there are lag issues occurring.  It's happened to me on a number of occasions.  When it does occur you'll notice the board colours are slightly altered (at least it looked that way for me....slightly less saturation).  It should be a temporary problem that might clear up just by closing the browser and reopening it and or clearing the cache as well.

What if you're playing on an iPhone? I have yet to find a way to do it.

^^^^^^^

click anywhere on board

If you're on a mac, right-clicking with a two-finger touch on the touchpad works.

Can't take it back once it's been played, not here.

How crude! Perhaps you would not be so loudmouthed if you knew the extent of my brachioradialis. I will allow this childish lack of respect to slide for now, only because of the base naivety of your kind

Insults?  Oh, by the pages of our anhedonistic tome that references reasons to cast aspersions upon others merely because we, ourselves, suffer from an inability to compete then demand that competition is a vile a endeavor.   Such spurious logic results in the steady decline of human discourse such that eventually we find everything and anything to be against what constitutes justifiable behavior.

Premoves are allowed and to call them ethically wrong and morally unjust because a condition precludes their use for yourself?  Well, doesn't that logically then mean we should extinguish all life on earth once you yourself cease to breathe?  Wouldn't the continued living be a moral and ethical affront to your lack of existence then?

As I said, please partake of the canned cheese.  I understand it's delicious.  And since it comes in a handy spray can, one merely has to exert the merest of pressures in order to enjoy a 100% artificial edible food.

Canned cheese, aka Easy Cheese, isn't 100% artificial. It has real milk, water and some other nagural ingredients. It's borderline blasphemy to speak about its artificiallness. Not sure if that's a word or not but it seems to fit at the moment.

Apologies.  You are, of course, correct.  The nomenclature by law is "cheese food".  For one's edification: https://www.finecooking.com/article/is-cheese-food-either

I play on my iPhone and have tried tapping, clicking, and recently punching any part of the screen. All it does it pack on more premoves. I'm not on their app but on Chess.com in Safari. The help and support moderators don't know how to do it either.

I was just kidding! Your posts reflect a higher than average intelligence and I'm petty enough to willingly use easy cheese to hitch a ride on your smarty pants coattails.
