Not zooming in on a phone or not dragging the pieces while on mobile, CLICKING IS YOUR WORST ENEMY ON MOBILE, trust, as I'm on chess.com on my mobile 24/7, I hardly use a computer for chess.com
Well... too bad I play on Mobile, and there's nothing that I can't do anything about it.
Bring yourself to a capture

Hi everyone!
I’ve had a though of how times I have done dumb things and lost so much of my hard won rating. One example is me playing on a touch sensitive phone and blundering my king. -120 elo in a day!
