Mouse-Slip Take Back Option

It would be nice to have the option to give an opponent the move back following an obvious mouse-slip.

you can enable it in daily chess

but it could be abused in live chess by making your opponent take back a move that leads to a mate so there would be some restrictions

not only that but it also could delay people in bullet or blitz chess

I only ever play Rapid. Maybe it is not applicable to faster time controls. My idea was to be able to offer/request a take back that could be accepted or declined.

I have had a few very interested games spoiled by myself or my opponent making a mouse-slip.

Good idea but it's hard to see how it would be implemented given the average chess.com player. In the past I have offered a draw when the opponent was winning and made an obvious mouse slip.

Following an opponent's mouse-slip leaving a piece en-prise, I played my previous move back to allow him to take his move back with the intension of making my move again so that he could play his intended move.

Not realising my offer (?) he saw my move as a blunder, not taking his en-prise piece so took advantage of my generosity and beat me

I understood it. Nice suggestion!

Haa 🤣😂

But that's fair enough. A player would always have the option to give the move back or decline.

Sometimes, a blunder can spoil a fascinating game and I would often be happy to allow it back. I would be more interested in a great game than the points.

How? And why would you need it in Daily, there is a confirmation popup for every move which makes it impossible to mouse-slip...

maybe you should enable it for friends or unrated games

Humans aren't perfect, we've all mouse slipped before

 Yes, but in live chess people who are being careful are using their own clock time to make sure they don't mouse slip.

People who mouse slip because they are moving fast, thereby gaining an advantage on the clock, are gaining an extra advantage when you do not penalize them for mouse slips.

It's a good suggestion for unrated games vs friends or so, but in rated I'd prefer it not be a thing. I don't want people always asking for takebacks or whatever.
