Misclicks happen! Stop whining!

Saw a troll thread today whining that opponents shouldn't be able to take advantage of your mouseslip LOL, it cancels out, everyone has misclicked often enough that it evens out and no one is disadvantaged for it. How is one supposed to know it was only a mouseslip anyway? In this position if someone realized what the best move was a second after making it they would love to be able to claim that clicking queen instead of a knight was a misclick:

My advice to avoid misclicks on touchscreens is to not click and drag.

I’m on touch screen and I don’t click and drag but I still misclick, it’s a part of online chess and games in general lol

I usually click and drag myself because my screen is small and am afraid of clicking the wrong square, but the opposite is true the bigger the screen. With a mouse never click and drag. Just click and click.

I usually if I play bullet click and drag due to the speed you need to play but even then misclicked will happen

Don't drag too fast then, if it can't keep up with your finger movement it will release on one of the earlier squares.

I’ve had that happen a few times, but I think I’ve been pretty good without misclicking for a while, last I’ve had one was like I don’t even remember

I remember misclicking recently but I don't remember doing it in a better or winning position. I think most of the few times ot has happened it was in either equal or slightly worse positions anyway. My most disappointing misclick may have been in a bug house game lol

Or instead of not dragging the piece just add a small increment of 2 or 3 seconds. Or combine it with the clicking the square also. I think that'd eliminate almost all the mouse slips in speed chess.

Well the other thread was saying the opponent shouldn't be able to take advantage of a misclick LOL!
