Letting me confirm the game is the one I actually picked

Please let me confirm that the game I am about to play when having clicked on one from the lobby is the one I actually intended to pick.

It can change at any time and I end up in a game I didn't choose to play.

I also once clicked on an atomic game but got a giveaway game before I'd noticed and already played 1 Nf3 which is the normal start move for Atomic but a losing move in Giveaway.

It might work if the interfaces didn't move the boxes around in real time, but first greyed them for a period to make them unclickable before putting a new one in its place. 5 seconds greyed out before a new one appears would stop the race-condition of what I click in that location not being the game I thought I had chosen.

Today I got a 3+0 3-check game and I just can't play very fast time controls I need some time to think on my moves. Got into a very poor position very quickly by blitzing opening moves, which I just don't enjoy. I hardly play any 3-check so it's not surprising I'm not that familiar with the openings.

I have this same issue. Because the queues move around so quickly (I guess to put the ones with more people at the top), I sometimes click on a hyperbullet game with 3 players and end up in a rapid teams game with no rating restriction.

I guess that's a big problem for you as you have time for a game that lasts a few minutes and end up in one that could go on an hour.

Well teams games don't go on for that long usually but yes it is annoying sometimes

Only time I've encountered this issue is joining a hyper chaturaji casual seek only to find out it was rated... (I lost points due to playing lame moves tongue.png )

Remember the days of prearranging in casual chaturaji? lmao
