Will you give a seven-year old like me takebacks?
Take Backs
Sort:
In online chess (as opposed to OTB chess, not what chess.com means), the takeback button looks exactly like the resign button.
I just notices this Forun, there is a takeback, but it must be decided before the game challenge is issued (used as a friendly game to teach someone moves) I think it is always automatically unrated, in the dropdown menu for rated or unrated when you are issuing a challenge, the third option is available, Takeback
I'd say depends on the circumstances and why you are playing. In a friendly game at the local pub, where you both were having fun but your opponent makes a stupid blunder, the loss is acknowledged and I allow the takeback, and we see where the game would have gone without the blunder. It allows us to keep playing without starting over. What's the harm in that?
"loss is acknowledged" is a key phrase here. If I understand correctly your opponent actually resigns and you start a new game from position just before his blunder.
