I recently started a games and was shocked when I received my opponent's "impossible" move -- a capture of my e pawn. I say "impossible" because I had moved my e pawn to e6 and my opponents knight was on f3. When I checked the log, however, it said I had moved my pawn to e5. How frustrating -- a "finger" mistake completely changing the game. I notified my opponent about my misplay and he is gracious enough to be willing to start the game over (we have only played 4.5 moves). The only problem is that I see no way to do this. Does archiving the game put it is "suspended animation?? What if we agree to a draw -- would that pull our averages down. We both have provisional ratings of about 1550. Can anyone help me??
