I think just in the past week, I've accidentally moved pieces my idly clicking to unselect a piece. I don't get it? Other sites have this option. Add it, it's not that difficult. At this point, I'm considering swapping services purely because of this option isn't here.
It's so frustrating to be totally winning a game, and then you idly click a square while distractedly staring at the board: "Welp, you've lost the game!"
Why is seemingly so much time being spent developing new "exciting" game modes when that same time could've been spent adding an amazing quality of life option?
