It has happened that I accidentally have submitted a move , that i didn´t meant. Is there any possibility, within RHP, to (on both players agreement) undo such a move?

Originally posted by Dag AlmkvistIf your opponent actually agrees to this and the move is reversible (i.e. not a pawn move, capture or castling) then he simply makes some move with a knight say, you move the piece you accidentally moved back to where it came from, he then puts his knight, or whatever it was, back and the only think different is a couple of extra moves on the game score. However, there is no reason for your opponent to go along with that and he is entirely within his rights to refuse to do this.

Originally posted by Dag AlmkvistNot sure 'takebacks' have any place in chess (with the exception of coaching games). Chess is a brutal game, beautiful and compelling because of that brutality. Mistakes happen. We just have to live with that. Once we start allowing (or expecting) compassion or mercy, we lose something fundamental to the game.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeTotally agree. How do we know the submit button was hit by mistake. An opponent may make a blunder and only notice it later, and then say he didnt mean that move. You cant take a move back OTB, so why should it happen here.

Originally posted by mwmillerBut where would you draw the line. Every game where a blunder happens, would be getting restarted. At the end of the day, the point is that we want our opponents to make mistakes, because thats how we force a win.
Two possible solutions.
1. As already suggested, both players make reverse moves back to the point of the blunder if that is possible, then proceed with the game.
2. Agree to a draw on the blundered game. Start a new game and play the exact same moves again up to the point that the blunder was made.
