there should be a pop up window asking if I surely want to resign, when I click on it

I like this one too though

 

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

Couldn't it just be an option you can activate if you want to? Mouseslipes don't always mean you lose, pressing resign does.

Yeah but mouseslips make sense since you're moving pieces anyway.

Only people with enormously fat fingers or no mouse control are getting anywhere near the resign button.

But sure, like I said, if it's an option that's fine.

Hikaru did it on his phone. He meant to offer a draw (he had a bit better position and needed a draw to win titled tuesday)

Like I said, "enormously fat fingers" lel

Also pretty sure that was Hou, not Hikaru, but Hikaru was her opponent.

Unless you mean a different time, years ago.

A study came out a few years ago that shows goldfish have a longer attention span than humans.  Kinda explains the popularity of bullet/blitz, and the posts we see related to impatience.

Scientific study suggests humans need love and affection. Conservatives' reactions? "Scientists are full of shit!"

Scientific study suggests humans are contemptible creatures. Conservatives' reaction? "Now that's something I can get behind!"

People have become so unwilling to take personal responsibility nowadays that they see their misclicks as someone else's problem!

 

Anyway, I'm not saying it wastes time. I'm saying it's annoying.

But I'm sure I'd get used to it. I'm mostly just having fun in this topic.

As you... probably (?) noticed, I was doing a parody of your post.

I'm a fairly strident atheist by the way, but chess.com doesn't like such topics.

Sure, that sounds fine.

Sounds good to me.

There should never be an "are you sure" pop up for any software anywhere.  I'm always sure... that's why I bloody clicked it.  Why don't YOU make sure your clicking what you wan't rather than depending on software to second guess you.  I would never accept you anti-Darwinism confirmation window lobbyists unless you wrote the software yourself and set the default option to off, and then never complained about it on a public forum.
