Many players know the rules of the game, but there are also many who simply ignore the rules just because they blundered or made a mistake or a dubious move.

I found this on Wikipedia about the 'touch-move' and 'j'adoube!' as well as no retraction and thought worthy of sharing happy.png

 

  • The touch-move rule in chess specifies that, if a player deliberately touches a piece on the board when it is his turn to move, then he must move or capture that piece if it is legal to do so. If it is the player's piece that was touched, it must be moved if he has a legal move. If the opponent's piece was touched, it must be captured if it can be captured with a legal move. This is a rule of chess that is enforced in all games played in over-the-board competitions. The player claiming a touch-move violation must do so before making a move.
  • If a player wants to adjust a piece on its square without being required to move it, he can announce j’adoube ("I adjust") before touching the piece (Hooper & Whyld 1992:425). A player may not touch the pieces on the board while it is his opponent's turn.
  • There is a separate rule that a player who lets go of a piece after making a legal move cannot retract the move.

Hi totoo, nd yes if u play in tournament first piece u touched  before a move u must move that piece, if it's ur own, but in normal gme let take it as training ground, me I play on a phone nd not big , nd I got big end fingers as I got a condition that's called clubbing fingers or drummer sticks fingers, so its easy to touch the wring piece on small screen with big fingers , but I believe in tourney it suppose to be play this way but hard in my situation but love it when hard lol
