The SEND must disappear, regardless of anything posted here. This is non-standard in the world of chess.

So... Everything non-standard should disappear, because it must be a bad idea ?

This guy clearly wishes he had enabled the send button option: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/a-blunder-so-disgusting-i-want-to-puke

First of all, under no circumstances should there be any SEND buttom at all. It is entirely idiotic. Move the piece on the board (screen). Thats it. No extra retarded click "to confirm". Secondly, 'disable' should be default, as in every other software. 3rd: often, the "disable" actually doesn't work!! The SEND appears anyway! Don't inform me this, that it can be disabled; do you think I couldn't figure that out? It is the very fact that it can be disabled that is so extremely ridiculous; who got this silly idea to put it there in the first place?? Why are some defending this nonsense? Don't you want to be able to play chess with as few distractions as possible??!??

I'd wager that if they did get rid of the confirm button you'd be back here complaining after an accidental move or two. I love the confirm move button. Ends any chance of a mouse slip ending in a bad move. I make enough of those on my own.

Thank God it's more like Oregon SH rather than Arkham.

Long story short; some people are just plain looney.

Just another prima donna who's full of himself.

Maybe he'll post the details of his research showing 99% of members agree with him-- they sure aren't showing up in this thread to support him.

The thing you and other posters seem to be missing is that this is not a button here/button not here alternative.

The button can be disabled by each user, which makes whining quite as ridiculous as whining that some people are using chess.com when <insert some website here> is clearly better. (If you don't like it, don't do it, simple !)

The send button is important.  It prevents mis-fires.  It is similar to the nuclear launch protocols used in the United States and other nations.  I'm pretty sure the "are you sure?" button or whatever it is in the White House and The Louvre have kept the world safe from accidentally starting a nuclear war so why are you complaining?

So... um, what is this SEND button that everyone is talking about? How come I don't remember seeing it?

Please... I've only ever had one account!!!

                  Connor, I think we're talking to the real Macer.  The fake one is on, "How chess Ruined My Life".

Actually, considering that the macers posting in those 2 threads have the exact same username, either both of the are the real one or both of them are fake.

Nahhhh!! .... the real macer is a kid... this one seems grown up!
