new here, is there an obvious way to quickly tell if it is a mouse slip, or just a bad move ?
You wont see masters playing bullet stopping a cycle of pre-moves to allow a take-back. Its really for total amateurs with no honor code to request a take-back, even for a slip. As was already stated, turn on move confirmation button, and you will not have any mouse slips. That is what the feature is for. This is your responsibility, not your opponents.
If you are interested in chess just take back when your opponent do a obvious mouse slip. I want to win because I m better player, not because my opponent's hand is dumb.,
If you are interested in points then never allow a takeback no matter what. You always can tell lies to yourself like "putting a piece on the proper square is part of the game".
"I would like some of the stuff this guy(?) is smoking.
Take backs are for kids so are blitz points.
Putting a piece on the proper square is the game"

Just disable takeback option to avoid abusers. And to free sxreen space from this usel3ss button
I do have take-back disabled and Zen mode turned on also.
So ask if you must and wait

People, you all want to become better players. I advise you to start with a rule system close to the official ones. If you talk about takebacks, rematches, touch-don't-move, rule issues in general better players just laugh at you. Cui bono?

You can kinda tell by the move. If someone plays Kf1 early in the game, he probably meant to castle. Or if a piece stops one square short of capturing one of your pieces.

If I would allow take-backs, the next questions might be: "This mate does not count, does it?"
@Sarg0n, the problem I have here is that in real-life chess, you can touch a piece and drop it anywhere, as long as you do not release it. It does not, and cannot work the same way for online chess. You move one move? You are done.
Also, different computer has varying mouse sensitivity, as well as lag, border misclick, etc.
Playing on computer can give a player some hard times, as evident in many of Carlsen's bullet chess match.

You can not touch a piece and drop it anywhere and decide that's not a good square.If you believe you can do that in real life post which tournament and who the sanctioning body happens to be. If you play that way at home you probably could not punch your way out of a wet paper bag.
If you must set preferences to confirm move this will allow you to decide on a different square and take-back mistakes and lose.
