Let's kick this idea around for a moment...

 

If a game is unrated, it would be nice to have a "request take-back" button. If pressed, the opposing player would be given the option of allowing/disallowing the take-back request.

 

This feature would be beneficial for games where one player is teaching the other. He/she could explain that a particular move was a blunder and the other player could then take back the move and continue learning. This would be especially powerful if you could rewind several moves (to explain why 14. Nd4 becomes an issue on move 18).

 

This is easy for me to suggest since I know absolutely nothing about writing the code that makes it possible. :)

It would be good for use in coaching games to help good players teach weaker players
