Works on that site, but not in real chess (touch-move rule)
Safety first
Sort:
About as bad as having a finger twitch on the mouse pad, in the middle of making a move, deposit a major piece to the unintended square; losing both it and an otherwise won game.
ON YOUR EDIT SCREEN YOU CAN ADJUST EACH MOVE TO BE FINAL ONLY AFTER YOU CLICK SUBMIT= AFTER THE MOVE IS MADE= IT IS FINAL AND CANNOT BE TAKEN BACK.

I won't use that option, because to me that would be the same as moving a chessman while playing OTB and sitting where I thought I might want it, but still having the option to move it back. Such play does not help me to practice deciding my moves before I move. Yet, using a mouse can present problems one would not face in an OTB game.

Also, in a blitz game, and/or in time trouble; that'll really slow you down, I think.
Here's a tip I'd like to pass on ...
In one game I'd started to make a move with my Queen, then stopped to reconsider and tried to put it back where it was. Sadly I put it on the wrong square and lost it! So what I do now in such a case is make whatever is clearly an illegal move, and you will be sent back to where you started.
