Is there any way to correct it if you drop piece on wrong square by mistake?
It happens. But statistically speaking, it sort of averages out, so you opponents are doing that about as much as yourself.

In a critical over-the-board Tournament game (last round, must-win situation) I blundered away one of the Pawns in front of my castled King. Just totally overlooked that my opponent could take it.
It turned out to be an awesome Pawn sacrifice. I won.
If a player make a obvious mistake like a mouse drop I will offer a draw and hopefully a rematch

Eureka! Just found if you click on the piece you want to move and then just click on the square you want to move it too, you won't have to worry about dragging and dropping the piece on the wrong square by mistake!
I tried winning a free bishop with my queen, once, slipped and put her en prise.
Oops!
Then I realised it was an epic sac, and checkmate in 3!

Well, you could even have situations like this...
Slip it to win it. You could win a piece! (There's a mate coming as well!)

I just planned to attack a queen but moved my rook where three pieces could take it instead.
Terrible feeling
