True, usually that's the way you play in almost every chess game in real almost and here.
TOUCH MOVE
Of all the otb game I have played ,all of which are friendly games, I have only used the touch move rule once! And only with aspiring wannebie tournament players!
Who wouldn't? (in a tournament)
I once had someone put me in checkmate with his queen, leave their hand on the piece, take it back, think for a few minutes, then move another piece that stalemated me.
I let him get away with it :)

Touch move is when you touch a piece you have to move it.
