Finally. Was that so difficult?
As for your continued failure to understand that these web pages with cancel buttons are displayed within your precious web browser, which already has a stop button that also doesn't allow you to take back your moves as you would like, I'm afraid I still can't tell if it's because you're too stubborn to accept reality or too stupid to comprehend what you're being told and shown. Please continue going on and on and on and perhaps we'll eventually discover which is the case.

How about this: You press the submit button, then you have to confirm your submission, then you have to confirm that you confirmed your submission. You then have to press OK to confirm that you have confirmed the confirmation of your submission. That way you won't blunder :D If you still do, well.. do some tactics trainer and don't blame bad moves on innocent buttons :P

That's just about what this clown is after . . . as long as you also put in some way to cancel that 3rd confirmation after you've given it . . .

...lol. Why is nobody serious here? This is not about good moves, bad moves, or even submitting moves, but rather transforming the purpose behind the 'Cancel' button to something logical, to something similar to that of any cancel button found within a webbrowser; of course considering we are playing on a webbrowsing platform. I am sure there are more people who continually make the exact assumption concerning the cancel button, however they choose not to address the issue by posting on the forum, and for good reason.
The current function, in a sense, is illogical.
You want the cancel button to act like the stop/cancel button of a browser...you do realize what that means right? Once again, go ahead, submit a move and then hit stop/cancel. Guess what, most likely the move already went through. The stop/cancel button on a browser does not take back what it has already sent out, it mearly stops it from sending/recieving anything else. What has been sent has been sent, nothing you can do about it. So your "logic" is flawed. What you really want is a button to undo a move, in other words, an "Undo" button.

May be that would not work then, although it could be worth a shot. Anyways, it was just a suggestion. By the way, how would you know what I want? ;D Geez, everybody has the answers in these forums.
Some people are easier to figure out than others. Matter of fact, I summarized this perfectly back in post #31, so I'll repeat my conclusion here:
You're just a sore loser who's mad because he can't take back bad moves made in haste.
Simple as that.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I am not interested in taking back moves.
Well then what the heck is this thread about?

It is true you did not specifically ask for an Undo button, didn't mean to imply that. What I should have said was that due to how a browser works, a Cancel button to stop the sending of the move after Submit has been clicked wont work. (At least not from the user end). So since it is submitted already, to "cancel" the submit, one would need a "undo" button to do it, as the move is already saved to the game and the opponent may already be looking at the updated position. (Basically meant you would want/need an Undo button to do what you asked)

I cannot find any sort of contact info for Chess.com anywhere throughout the site, but this matter needs to be addressed!
The 'Cancel' button for online chess seems to be broken, if there is even reason for it anyways. A number of times, specifically just now in one of Chess.com's tournaments that I am playing, I have noticed something suddenly after submitting a move, and then of course, instaneously hit the 'Cancel' button; however, absolutely nothing happens. Whether or not there is purpose behind the button, and if there is not any at all whatsoever -- please remove it! I have lost numerous pieces, advantages and games as a result of this -- frequently falling back -- relying on the button as a last resort. Whereas, it seems the only purpose of the 'Cancel' button is great deception. It would be nice if I could have those moves back, especially the tournament 'blunder'...
I know that many would argue such an opinion -- fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me sort of thing, but seriously, common...
As we move through life I believe we all pretty much start off with 64 squares, along the way we lose some, destroy/abuse others and wind up with less than we started with. Of course I can't be sure but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Bobby's nickname in real life is something like, "Bobby 2 & a half squares"
