Mouse Slips
Sort:
If I accidently click on a piece that I don’t want to move, I usually just move the piece to an illegal square (Ex. On a square that is occupied by one of my own pieces). The app/website will return the piece to its initial space.
Hope this helps! =)

I would do it occasionally here and there until; i realized that if you right click while still holding whichever piece, it will return it to its previous position. A lot easier than placing it back.
@EdoubleU52 wow thanks for that tip I didn't know that I usually play 13 to 15 games a day and I have that happen almost once a day
I never knew that that that was a feature, thanks EdoubleU52!
No problem, just doing my part to help all people beat me even easier!

I had this happen to me a number of times. But this is not the site’s fault. It is the users fault for making a slip of the mouse. You can practice accuracy with the computer on chess.com, or you can maybe use a better mouse which lets you have greater grip.
MOST importantly you can use the feature on the site which requires you to confirm a move before it is made. I don’t remember how to find this feature but I believe it is in the settings.
In slow games you should use manual analyze feature.
