taking back moves in unrated games
Sort:
I second that idea
I'll 4th it, It'd be a big benefit ,for my buddy and I did it YEARS ago it is very helpfull. to me it helped to ingrain it (moves)-(IDEAS) on my coconut!!! lol
I agree
i have to agree with the majority and say yea to mulligans by agreement also offered by the merciful oppenent!!!!
FWIW, I'll also throw my vote in for this.
Good idea ... and takebacks in live chess too !

great idea :) i'll put it on the list. what we MIGHT do instead is institute a "teaching game" mode where you get undos, etc. we'll see....
Yes yes, a teaching game mode!
I wanted to suggest that, but the feature list quickly exploded in my mind.
That's something that would really help boost the community aspect of chess.com: people teaching each other.
I have a friend in my list whom I am coaching. I'm sure he would love this idea of a teaching mode as well, as most of our games are unrated. I think it's a great idea, too. It'd make a point a lot better instead of "Okay, see how you are now and try to imagine how better off you could be..."
Of course, I'm sure the chess.com staff is burdened enough as is and wouldn't expect it anytime soon. Just whenever you guys can get around to it would be great. Thanks for building a great site!
This feature would be a huge plus!
Also:
It could be an option when you create the game, where you check whether or not players will be allowed to request takebacks.
Perhaps even you could allow 1 free takeback, etc. obviously, this is only something that would be an option on unrated games.

Great Idea! Perhaps "teaching mode" should include multiplayer options (in Vote Chess fashion) for lecture-like sessions.....
Great idea!!! That would be very useful.

yeah - neat idea - but I wouldn't want to see it in regular games like it is on yahoo chess - only in an unrated game
Also, I think playing unrated game souldn't affect you rated Avg. Opp Stats. Maybe Unrated Avg Opp Stat sould be add.
Nevermind the last thing I request. I just read
Big Release of Features, Bug Fixes, and Upgrades
If it matters, I say, "Teaching game mode = yes."
That is all.
When I teach the outcome is totally uncertain. That's because one way I teach is by providing blunders that the student either notices or doesn't. I may win, I may lose. But the stats are completely meaningless.
Obviously a teaching game should be unrated, but there are certain stats that might be useful for teaching, such as number of pawn moves, or a graph showing material vs. moves, a chart showing who had control of the center, etc.
Feature request: allow players to take back moves in unrated games.
Sometimes I play unrated games with players to coach them. In these games, it would help a lot to be able to scroll the game back (by agreement I suppose, just like a draw offer) and replay it from there.
