Opponent wants to take back a move. Can a move be taken back if both players agree ??

No.
Take-backs are not possible.

The only way to do it is to 'engineer' the situation (you make a careful non-move, they make a careful non move - you return to your original position, they move to where they would have moved to) - of course, not possible if a piece has been taken.

If it's just a friendly game and he wants to see if he could have done better, you can start another (unrated) game using "start from this position" from the appropriate pre-blunder point.

game # 4754678: In one move I mate him, but my opponent has offered me a draw, and my pieces are frozen, even though it say keep playing if I don't accept the draw. Is there something I'm missing? Should I report a bug?Game 4754678
