Hello Lichess,
Mouse slips are not a rare occurrence. I've made a number of them myself, like this one:
I don't generally ask for a takeback, since I figure clicking the right square is the whole point of playing online. My opponents don't feel the same way, though.
More than a few players have argued with me/called me unsportsmanlike for not giving them a takeback after a mouse slip. Here are my 3 reasons for not giving it:
1. It's impossible to be sure it wasn't just a really dumb move, not a slip
2. Like I mentioned before, clicking the right squares is part of the game. If you have a problem with slips, shouldn't it be up to you to steady your hand?
3. Even when I ask, my opponents never give me takebacks
Is this reasonable, or am I being rude?
