An extra "confirm" would be detrimental to anyone under time constraints. Bad idea.

I wouldn't mind it for Rapid games with 10 min plus 10 second increments.  I haven't played much Rapid but still have had problems with mousepad moves.

I think it should be applied to over the board games as well.  After each move, your opponent will be required to ask: "Are you sure you want to do that?"

I have raised this to chess.com support, they were not even aware this option was missing in the desktop version, they will look into adding it

So, have they look into adding it??? Almost 3 months passed and still nothing...

 

yes I have raised it to support and they are looking into it, I guess not a quick change, development, testing takes time, fingers crossed. Maybe if everyone writes an email to them it might be considered more, they don't look at this forum comments, but they do respond to emails

They need to look into removing it from all apps, not adding it.

why? it's an option, you can set it on or off, most people here would like it, you can always set the option off, but it would give everyone a choice.

Because it's cheating.  Its like taking your hand off a piece and then taking back your move.

well, you can't keep your hand on a screen and that's the only solution to have a good view of what a move would look like. It's not cheating at all

The rules of chess are that if you touch a piece you have to move that piece.  You can't look at a move then take it back and move a different piece.  So it is cheating.

it's silly that it has to be explained to you, but touching  a piece and moving a piece to the wrong field - are different actions. and in virtual world, when you use touchpads - you can easily release a button earlier if you're dragging a piece or click couple of pixels away from the targeted field if you're using cliecks...  and boom.  So it's not cheating at all. Do not mix up 'sweet' and 'hot'. Different things

Please add a confirmation for the laptop version.  I lost 3 games today due to mis-clicks.  If it's not cheating on the phone app then it's not cheating on the laptop
