Accidentally resigning a game.

So this morning I was doing analysis on a Daily 960 game in which my position was good. I somehow clicked the "resign" button unknowingly and then when the message "are you sure" came up I clicked again quickly and I guess confirmed it. I didn't even realized what had happened until I saw the "you resigned" message pop up. 

Can this be undone? I had no intention of resigning the game.

Why does everyone have to be a smart*ss? I obviously "wasn't sure" - it was an accident. It's possible to inadvertently click a button, you know. Reading these forums, it seems it's happened to other people also.

Thanks Bruce for the honest reply. That's what I was afraid of. I do think they should consider putting the "resign" button in a different location. Like maybe hidden under another button (the way that less important buttons like "flip board" are, etc). I know it's probably a rare occurrence but it's still no less frustrating. I lost 370 rating points because of it. 

Well that's really terrible to resign by mistake especially when you had a good position. Unfortunately you cant undo it . And I also agree to your point that the resign option should be placed somewhere else. Basically it should not be too handy . And one must make a bit more effort ...maybe a few more clicks to access the resign button. I see good logic behind doing this . Since a person isn't going to need it all along the game. He needs it only when he has made up his mind that he can't continue forward with the game

Hi friend. This is the second time that I have heard the exact same story both times when using the analysis board. Very similar story too. Maybe it's possible to move the resign button a little shouldn't be too difficult with the clever IT people that they have on tap here

I don't agree. After all, one could look at the game and clearly see that it was not a resignable position. It was an accident, plain and simple. I was basically asking if under certain circumstances a chess.com admin could look at the game and allow me to just continue to play on. I still had 25 hours left to make a move, so subtract 8 hours or however long it took to allow me to continue. It's not like me running out of time and asking to reverse the loss or something. 

Resign and offer draw buttons should be removed from the analysis page. Too easy to mis-click. 

Fair enough. I did pretty much expect a "it's too late, the result is final" answer, and I can accept that, but I just wanted to see if an adjudication was possible. But I will admit you're right about it, sometimes that's just how it goes. 

But how could the Chess.com administrators be sure if you're sure that you didn't want to resign?  I mean, they could ask if you're sure that you didn't want to resign, but you might respond 'no' when you really mean 'yes.'

And then, once they're finally sure that you're sure that you indeed didn't want to resign, they could ask if you wanted to resume said game that you're sure you didn't want to resign, and you would reply 'yes,' and then they would ask if you're sure, but maybe you would then accidentally say 'no' when you really meant 'yes.'  

So, should they then ask -- just to be sure -- if you're sure your answer is 'no' to the question of if you're sure about being sure about wanting to resume the game you're sure that you didn't want to resign?

I'm not sure what the right answer is, man, but i'm sure that they should be sure to ask us several times if we're sure about anything and everything, because it sure is obvious that some of us aren't really sure about being sure or not sure...and that we can't be bothered to take a whole two seconds to think things over before answering an 'are you sure?' prompt.

i guess maybe  a safe word is in place for such cases..  maybe if you had to type for instance 
"oklahoma"  when really wanting to resign and not just pressing resign and confirming it just for the trill of it, this wouldn't happen.

I feel for you, but this decision will never be reversed.

Like others have said, it's similar to mouse slipping or disconnecting in a winning position. It sucks when these things happen, but all you can do is accept the loss and move on.

It's not, though; disconnecting is out of one's control, and mouse-slipping/mis-clicking happens, sure, but what the OP did was mis-clicked once and then deliberately (albeit absent-mindedly) clicked a second time elsewhere on the screen.  

The 'are you sure?' system they have set up works just fine, if only we slow down and actually read it; you would have to mis-click TWICE, and that's very unlikely.

It can't! Its really annoying though!

I will say that chess.com should really consider changing the way this works. The resign button is available within the analysis board. You can't even make your actual move while still in the analysis board. Why should you be able to resign from there? But beyond that, if you do accidentally click "resign" while in analysis (it's not hard, it's right down by the arrows that progress thru the game), the popup that asks if you are sure appears right down there in that area of the screen. It would make much more sense to have that popup center screen - then to accidentally click it you would have to move your mouse across the screen significantly. 

^ This.

It's absurd how some people are agreeing with you that the resign button is "too accessible" and should be moved somewhere else. It is perfectly fine where it is, you literally have to try to resign to have that happen to you. You don't just accidentally click two buttons to resign, especially when you know where the button is, always. It doesn't move away. You have played 50+ daily games. You saw where the resign button is, 50+ times...

I just don't understand. If you have trouble clicking the big arrow buttons in analysis mode to the point of accidentally clicking a small "resign" button below the much bigger arrow buttons, I don't know what to tell you. Must have a humongous cursor or something.

@KCJ4 your name is absurd but that’s just my opinion. We all have our own,  sorry about that🙄 

...? Okay thanks for your input bud
