Giving takeback for a clear blunder like moving queen or leaving queen en prise do indeed display good sport

Hi
I never can understand why people not accepting a takeback when it definetily was a "miss-click"

Well, just for a few point more on the level , oh well ...

Someone tries to time me out and I should reward him? So next time he is going to move even faster and snotty?

Oh, dont pretend like you dont run. Thats the very nature of blitz and bullet. There are a number of games in your profile where you are desperately running for your life, hoping beyond hope that your opponent runs out of time before nailing the mate. He is not doing anything you dont do.

Sure. But neither I play Takebackgammon nor I am a Takebeggar.

Personally, I accept a takeback if it's an obvious misclick (usually something like going in for exchanging queens, but by accident putting the queen right infront of your opponents, for example).

I can see other peoples point about misclicks being a part of online chess, but for me it ruins the game more than anything. I think also has to do with the level you're at. If you are in the 1500+ and actively trying to get better, then I get not accepting takebacks, but if you're hovering atound the 1300-mark and lower and you're only playing for fun, then I think it's perfectly fine to ask for or accept takebacks.

PS: I sometimes feel like it gets lost in forum discussions that people here are at every skill level under the sun and that's going to impact how you view a bunch of things in online chess. Play competitively? Perfectly fine. Play just for fun? Perfectly fine. Do whatever makes chess fun for you.

It's a board game... it's not life, you prove nothing by disabling it. It doesn't make you hardcore, oldschool, or (insert adjective). Maybe an edge-lord. Just relax and allow takebacks for crying out loud.

Oh and it's a board game ;)
