Accidentally resigning a game.

That's exactly what happened with me. Scrolling thru the moves using the arrows, you are looking at the board and not at where your mouse pointer is. But beyond that the real issue with the design IMO is having the "are you sure?" confirmation pop up immediately next to the resign button. Again, if you just placed that popup at center screen, someone would be much less likely to accidentally click it. 

las 2 últimas partidas las perdí por abandono, pero yo no toqué la tecla de abandono, se hizo automáticamente. ¿cómo pudo ocurrir esto?

It's really not absurd. The resign button is right next to the "move back" button when looking back through a game. If I'm trying to go back several moves, I'm clicking 4 or 5 times in quick succession. It's very easy to accidently resign in this scenario. It is a usability issue and your suggestion as it being "absurd" that it is too accessible is absurd in itself.

First of all, it's distinctly below the back button. By a considerate amount. Unless your hand is shaking uncontrollably while you rapidly click the back button, you shouldn't accidentally be able to resign. I cannot imagine accidentally clicking resign and the confirmation button while clicking on the back button, both on the web and mobile version. It's very absurd.

Like I said, you know where the resign button is, is it hard to just be mindful of it while checking previous moves? Sure, an accident might happen, maybe your hand was jerked from a muscle twitch all the while continuing to click on the mouse. I'm not arguing that you should be perfect. What I'm arguing is that it's at fault of the user, and you shouldn't complain about the design, and move on. 

Language?

Hilariously bad analogy. And I'm not being one, I'm just telling you like how it is. The UI is perfectly fine, you're just triggered because you're one of them, who somehow managed to resign "accidentally". It's hurting you inside because you know you're in the wrong. Just stop resorting to going to the forums to complain about it, and be mindful of where your cursor is...

its nice that we have so many chess players now that this kind of nonsense has enough following to form a large group that are sure they're in the right. like with anti vaxxers but harmless

just put confirm resign? on your settings

The "resign" button just below the "move" arrows is an accident waiting to happen. I have lost at least two games from a winning position in the past few weeks. That said, there's nothing that can be done about it. The most common scenario is when you are rapidly clicking the arrows to cycle through the moves and the mouse slips to the resign option and you continue to click at a high speed. I did write to support requesting they consider moving the resign option where it is not so easy to accidentally click on it but I am not holding my breath.  

A game is without meaning. 

Eh. It happened to me this morning. It's frustrating.

The issue is that the move history arrows are frequently multi-clicked. Moving the resign button would make the "confirm" dialogue a lot more effective. Someone else also suggested hiding the button while in analysis mode.

But I've been told this has been a problem for ages and it's never been addressed, so I fixed it myself. I made a chrome extension (Never Surrender) that removes the resign and draw button entirely from daily games.

Sure. Or I can just remove the button.

One can be easily toggled off when I need to use the resign or draw button (roughly once a week), the other requires me to bring a keyboard any time I'm lazing on the couch and using the computer on the big screen.

It was literally two lines of CSS and a cookie-cutter json manifest. It took about 5 minutes, and improves my quality of life.

I don't have to wonder. I know which is easier.

(Quick edit: 5 minutes of up-front work, in my opinion, is well worth preventing even one accidentally resignation if I "forget" to use a keyboard. That's why I made the extension the first time it happened.)

Sometimes I plug my laptop into the projector and watch Netflix or something. I'll occasionally check in on daily games. It's easier to just use the mouse rather than go all the way to the laptop.

Literally almost any computer can be plugged into a modern TV or projector.

ANYWAY. Your opinion is very clear. The confirmation button is sufficient. Not everyone agrees, however, and--even beyond atypical setups--not everyone wants to play with a keyboard. Some people just prefer mouse-only play. I certainly do.

OP and a few others said they thought it would be nice to have a slightly bigger barrier to resignation, since it's such an uncommon action. I agreed. So I came up with a solution. 

I posted it on the chrome store (for free) so that others could use it if they want. If you don't want to use it, don't use it. If you do...

Never give up. Never Surrender.

I've done it a few times in blitz. It really is located in a troublesome place.

The site glitched and resigned a game I was winning, with no warning.  I reported it, but never heard a word back from staff.

That's what having a premium membership for five years and being a top gifter on the site gets you.

In my opinion the problem is made up of three design issues:

1) The resign button is available within analysis mode. You can't make your actual game move within analysis mode, yet you can resign the game? Doesn't seem logical. 

2) The resign button is located very close to the arrow buttons that you use to go thru the game moves. 

3) The "Are you sure" confirmation popup comes up immediately below the resign button.

To me, the simplest fix is to just move the "Are you sure" confirmation to center screen rather than have it pop up so close to the resign button. This way, if you accidentally hit resign, it would be extremely unlikely that you would move the mouse pointer way up to center screen and click "yes" accidentally. But truly, to address any one of these issues would probably make accidentally resigning much less likely.

It has already been a month.  There will be no action on the report. Stop acting like a mindless twit.
