The 2 years I've been here, I almost always allow tackbacks in Casual games, but never in Rated games. I'm Way, way past a chess players prime, probably older than 90 % of the players here. So also slower than most, and probably behind on time in 90% of the Rapid or Classical games I play. I figure if a player is trying to play twice as fast as me, it's on them for not using that time for blunder checks and for "finger slip" checks. I sure as hec have to do it. In particular, if a player is clearly trying to rush me and get me rattled, as so often happens, but then THEY are the one that blunders.......them then turning around and asking me to think about granting a takeback while my clock is winding down, I find it rude in the extreme.
In any case, 2 weeks ago I read about the 'user preferences' option to eliminate tackbacks in rated games, and
I set mine to block them, so I presume problem solved.
