Hello,

I played live chess games today in which I lost two games because my mouse was not working properly. I wanted to something else. Do you guys think in such genuine cases opponent should agree to draw.

Game 1: winning position

There's no way to prove to your opponent it's a genuine case, so they shouldn't feel any obligation to draw. If that happened to me, I would just resign and curse the day my mouse was manufactured into existence

If playing a friend and an unrated game, I'd definiteyl agree on a draw, because "shit" just happens sometimes.

Zembrianator is right, I would accept a draw but you shouldn't expect it.

well it depends who I am playing

My point was you missed tactics that thing is understood. But if you know if move ur pieces to e5 or d3 there is obvious threat who's gonna miss that?

Those are certainly unfortunately error due to system issue.

often it is easy to tell if the move is a mouse slip or not. in such case i offer a draw. the day i can't tell your mouse slip from a blunder, however, is not your lucky day.

Its easy to see by the games that your mouse or system was having an issue.

hopefully you can get a new mouse soon.

Charming_Amelia

Yeah. Actually most of the chess players are more concerned about their rating rather than fair play.

At the end its just a number. Does it really matters 1800 or 2800?

If we were going to take account in mousle slips all the time, then sure as æææ I suddenly have a lot of mouseslips!! Bullet + blitz

AussieMatey

If you click on the piece, then click on the square it's going to, then that virtually eradicates mouse slips.

To avoid mouse slips, move rooks along diagonals and bishops along files and ranks. For queens, try a L-shape. Mouse slips whit knights are rare, unless you are Kasparov.

If my opponent made a spectacular blunder and then said it was a mouse slip, I'd agree to a draw if asked.

Charming_Amelia

Yeah submit button is there but that would take more time.

Do you guys know how to activate pre-move function in android app. That seems to me unavailable.

Accept draw or not, it depends of my mood, or how desparate I need the point.

Those slips goes both ways. Win some and loose some.
