Hello everyone
My opinion is: Everyone should accept takebacks all the time. Yes, in rated games; yes, for blunders in addition to misclicks.
If you have some serious opinion about how takebacks are not chess, or how they are not used in pro games over the board, or how they are shameful, all I can say is get over yourself.
I had been happy to play games, and resign games after blundering a queen, or ask for takeback after a boneheaded move. I have had the habit of offering a takeback after my opponent gives away a free queen. It makes for better games, and both players have a better experience. They learn more. It is a friendlier, warmer environment.
But after looking through forum threads about takebacks, I am appalled, and so motivated to deactivate my account and never come back. Y'all are some toxic people.
If you think chess should be ruthless, if you use the word battlefield unironically, go join the army.
Don't bother responding to me like I will read this; I won't, I am done with you all.
inb4 people make fun of me and prove me right
