Well I beg to differ. If I were alone in this criticism I'd accept your opinion, but this is happening all the time for a large amount of users.

Bump. Having this problem so might as well not make a new thread. Dragging files/folders in the desktop works perfectly and I've had no issues playin SC2. It's just with Chess.com that I get the problem.
I use a trackpad on a Macbook Pro and this exact glitch just cost me a game!!! Brand new Macbook, I went to move a bishop and it dropped it on the first square I passed. Is there a different and more precise way to move pieces?

I also use a Mac. The best way is to use a good mouse. i got mine at officeworks. It solved a lot of my problems. Also you can play on and tablet like an iPad. On these apps you can go to settings and select confirm move. And turn it on. So no more slippings.
I have a solution - for myself anyway, which may be useful to others (if you don't already know it!)
When you want to move on the piece, click on the piece itself, then on the destination square. That way there is no clicking and dragging! Just two clicks.
I've been having the same problem lately. too often. lost at least 10 games, I didn't have this problem ever before, it's like I am being hacked...

i have a similar erratic mouse, as i move pieces it drops faster like magnetic board and leads me ahead ..and sometimes it drops on a wrong place..ha..ha. crazy mouse.
The upper portion is gradually being covered up..and then I have to sektch over to desktop size to continue the game..which is extremely difficult..please solve
The same happens to me currently. It's weird the piece slips to a square when I just start dragging like I was pointing it to a direction, not dragging it.

same problem, it drops pieces early randomly. Could get used to clicking instead of dragging but its still annoying.

Have this problem as well. Weird enough it is WAY more prevalent in Blitz than in Rapid. It happens in Rapid too but somewhat rare. In Blitz it happens constantly and really bugs out. My mouse works fine, as does the browser.

If a piece drops before you let go of your mouse button, something is most likely wrong with your mouse. Alternatively, try using a different web browser such as Google Chrome

Hi
Thanks for the tip, I did ... same problem with Chrome, Firefox and Opera !!!
The only solution is to pick from and to instead of dragging the pieces
Using a touchpad is even worse, it adds about a minute wasted in a ten-minute game...time to try a gaming mouse. Internet, as are the individual limitations we all have re hand-eye coordination.
Miss the old days when humans could actually play across a real board in a real space. It occurs to me that this whole site could just be a big artificial intelligence bot! ; )

This is not a "mouse issue", this is an issue with the website / javascript that handles the drag and click events. chess.com doesn't care. it has been a bug for years and they'll never fix it. This is also why I cancelled, but now they're gifting diamonds to try and lure people back,
Why not give the gift of fixing your #$%^&%$^& .js instead???
I have an MS Project with a form that is a button, I want to click and drag from the All Forms window and drag it up to the toolbar. How can you click on an item and then drag and drop?

I have also faced similiar problems.Today I lost a game which I should have
won hands down,but the connection got cut and later i did not even know
what had happened to the game.My rating was simply reduced by about 30
points. don't know what is happening.
