Unethical takeback proposition

By the way, what is a takeback? I go to lots of tournaments, say 20 a year, for at least 30 years: I've never encountered it. Is this yet another USCF quirk?
#9 Thanks & sorry I initially got lost in the details. Again I think improving the UI would resolve this issue.

#11 USCF and FIDE (rated game) rules make takebacks illegal, which is no fun. Online I set my takeback preference for "casual games only" which IMHO makes the most sense for everyone.
#12
Indeed.

I always allow takebacks because miss clicks may happen, and as a personal challenge, I accept even if its clearly a new try from the opponent after he realize the movement was bad, I only refuse if the time control is short like 1+0 or if it's a dead end.
In the end it's a matter of personal preferences.
#13 "and as a personal challenge, I accept even if its clearly a new try from the opponent after he realize the movement was bad"

maybe you can come up with a name for this game you are playing because it certainly is not chess
I guess we all got an idea now about what to do if gettng worse position against josevitor91 :)

It's not often to see people sending takeback proposal, and in most of the times they are low rate and in a lost position, I just don't care, I play for fun on internet.

You probably won't be in a bad position against me, and I would like to play against you if you want.
