pieces that have minds of their own

Whilst playing a ten minute blitz game , on my tablet, I touched on the piece, that I wished to move , and in the blink of an eye, it moved one square, not the square that I intended to place it .
It was immediately captured by my opponent, and I lost the game . Before he captured the piece,
I immediately offered him a draw , thinking that he must have realised what had happened, the fact
that he ignored my offer, was rather unsportsmanlike. I would really like to know, what is the cause
Of these situations, as it happens more than a few times to me .

when I "take" the piece, sometime the other side of the hand touch the display, and pieces is drop off on the board... Very annoying tear.png

 

If your opponent not accept the draw, is not a guilty... Unfortunately You wrong the move.

You being so popular, I would have expected more sympathy for you. I certainly hope your cheddar was nice and soft,.

sometimes pieces became invisible and I have to play half blindfolded.

Once this happened in a tactic.

Another time I was playing crazyhouse 1|0 and this happened. If it was 15|10, I could still play, but I was losing AND down on time. So I timeouted and blundered my queen.

In response to OP... to avoid this use the verification/confirm move have that enable to ensure that there are no such “slips” or “wrong movements” as a cross or a tick would either deny or allow such move!

Why do you make moves with your tablet if you have the scrolls?
