I'm having lots of missclicks (pieces moving to unwanted squares). I use Mac, and have problems with Firefox and Safari. Help please

Are you actually clicking the piece and then clicking the destination square and seeing that problem? Are you using a mouse?

Do you only have these problems on chess.com or is it a general problem with your mouse ?

1) clicking the piece and then destination. Using mouse with no other problems.

2) problem only with chess.com

clicking onto the peice and moving tentatively around, btw, is a Very bad habit

Ok, so not using a trouchpad?

Do you have premove on? I've had the problem before where I had a legitimate misclick and ended up also hitting the square I intended which got read as a premove.

 

Ended up with two mistaken moves out of the opening.

Thanks Martin. No, I never used premoves. My mouse works fine. Never use the touchpad.
