I think that this is a great idea. I would like to mimic OTB as much as possible.
Chess.com should introduce a click move rule

I can understand where you’re coming from, and I’ve actually thought about that idea. The only problem I found is that a computer mouse slips much more then a persons hand in a real OTB game, I can’t count the number of times I accidentally moved the wrong piece in online blitz, but I’ve never even touched the wrong piece OTB. So I think we would have a lot more moves played that were just mouse slips.

Chess is not training for medieval war. Online is not OTB. When you try to make everything the same, you run into unanticipated difficulties.
The pawn is my favorite piece—peons who become queens. Nothing in medieval war prepares you for the gender change.
Similar absurdities flow from efforts to create an OTB environment online.

It would be cool but only if optional.
I'm against it.
I like to over with a piece for no reason.

It makes sense but what about missclicks? There are a lot of who play on old phones and laptops with not ver very good touchpads. So it would be ok for tournaments but not just for regular rated games.

One old site had a cool feature. Whenever your opponent "picked up" a piece, it highlighted it on your screen, so you knew they were touching it.
Which was a lot of fun, because for example.
After you play Nd5...
You'd see them, for example, pick up the d pawn because they were thinking of Bh3 (the pawn doesn't move on your screen, it's just highlighted). But then they see your move threatens c7, so you see them put it down and pick up the king to castle, but then they see Nxc7 traps the rooks, so they put it down and pick up the knight on b8 to play Na6. But then they see Bxa6 so they put it down. Then you see them pick up the bishop and this time it lasts for a while, so you know they're doing a last blunder check, and then finally they play Bb6.

In OTB tournaments you play by touch move. So if you touch a piece you HAVE TO move it.
Online chess ruins the habit as you click on a piece and then hover it over a box and then put it back on the original place and move another piece.
I feel this spoils players. I do it every game myself, and feel there should be a click move rule, similar to touch move.
If you click on a piece you must move that piece. I think this is will instill a lot of discipline in chess players. It needn't be for everyone, and you have the option to opt to play under clickmove rule when you seek a game.
I partially agree. But it should be optional. If you turn it on, then you should be able to seek only those who play by this rule.

How do you say adjust (or Shadoob - spelling?) Right click? Wiggle the piece?
Or just adding an option for if you want the touch-move rule or not. Some people might want it for practising for tournaments and some might just not want it.
