Take back option

It would be great to have the option to allow for move take backs in a non-rated game whether it be daily chess or live chess. I have friends who are new to chess and I would like to help teach them by playing games online as its not always possible or convenient to play together on a real board. 

 

It would be exceptionally helpful to be able to comment on their last move, talk about it, and suggest an alternate one instead and for them to be able to roll it back and make the new one.

I am pretty sure there is a take back option in unrated online (correspondence) (daily) chess.

This comes from the Help pages:

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:

Create a takeback game

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. 

Takeback button - only for takeback games!

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.
