In my last game, I tried taking back my premove but instead it played the move so i confusedly watch my bishop get develop and return to its square! Im really new to chess.com, so how do i redo/take back/cancel a premove? Im in mobile

If you are on the browser, right-click clears the premove queue. I don't think it can be done on mobile.

 

edit: apparently tapping on the piece is supposed to work as well. https://support.chess.com/article/642-what-are-premoves-and-how-do-they-work

I play on the mobile website and don't think tapping the piece works. Not sure on the app.

I edited my post. Try just tapping the piece of you're on the app.

I am not able to cancel premoves in chess960 in a browser. Does anyone know how to?

Click back on the move list, and then go back?

Right click on the square you moved from. (May also work if you right click on the square you moved to.)

Right clicking on the square I moved from only creates a yellow circle on that square, I think
