Start dragging the pieces on an analysis board in Live Chess. That'll take care of your issue. You can't disable either of the two functions coz some players prefer to use click to move.
How to disable the click to move function?

You can't, both methods will always work.
So after 6 years chess.com still won't allow players to disable this featuer?
jesus please allow a selection of the two
Yeah this literally just lost me a game. This has to be a SUPER easy fix. Come on Chess.com, figure it out.
agreed lost 3 games to this I mean I suck as it is don't need simple stuff like this making me lose tbh the game is complicated enough as it is, controls should be the easy part imo

Please, add an option to disable either of the two. I just lost 4 games in a row because it subconsciously irritates me how the piece stays highlighted after you pick it up but don't do a move so I automatically click randomly to make it go away and it moves the piece.

Guys stop sending notifications 😅. It's been six years already since I posted this; obviously they don't give a hoot about it.

It's a hot topic let's get this to the top who knows they might actually pay attention^^
Please for the love of god let us disable click to move.
Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, but sad that it's been so long and still not solved. I subconsciously click on the pieces I'm thinking of moving, and if those pieces happen to be a king and a rook, I accidentally castle. If I wanted to castle with click to move, I should be clicking on the spot my king will be after castling, not the rook.
cancelled my sub based on technical issues money talks they say^^ let's see if that holds true lol
Fun fact, [another site -- VP] has this option
[another site -- VP]: Free analysis, Click to move, Drag selection, more responsive
chess.com: we leave both options in because some Karens are too dumb to choose between them

Clueless responses and ignoring from chess.com. We want to disable this because it causes accidental moves. In no other chess site I've played on, am I forced to allow the UI to make moves for me when I click on an empty square. It causes accidental moves.
Go play on [another site -- VP] the user interface is much cleaner and better.
The unwanted selecting and clicking has made me lose many games and it's really frustrating; for instance when I drag a piece and drop it back on its place, it becomes highlighted and any random click on the board can unwantedly move the piece. Is there a way to choose between the two functions and disable one of them?
