04 Nov '03 15:03well, an aspect of chess is that you - as in life - take decisions at a certain time. you can't live for a test periode or love for a test periode or ... 😉 and so as you can't take back your whole life, you can't take back a move in chess 😠
well, I don't think that this would be very good. if you just want to play to learn, play unrated games and if you make a bad move, start a new game with the desired situation on the board: everything is possible here at RHP 😀

It is no fun to play after a bad move. When we resign or draw it properly affects won-loss records and ratings. However, we should be able to agree to continue after rolling back to a selected move.
We would learn more and have more fun.
If you want to "roll back," see if your opponent will play an unrated set-piece game once the rated one is complete. Then you can set up the board how it was before the blunder and play on for fun and learning . . . - 05 Nov '03 06:57

My Rollbacks will not reverse bad moves. You still finish games after a mistake. However, simple programming then lets you quickly and easily offer an unrated Set Piece Rematch, from right before a mistake. This should be of special interest to both parties. Of course, messaging about a planned Rollback offer may make an initial game go faster, while helping us improve the quality of our ganes.

I see. But your suggestion is already possible, except you have to do that little bit of extra work yourself in setting up the position you want to play.

Rght, but I bet "that little bit of extra work" and not publicising that you can do it would make all the difference. A Rollback option, beneath Rematch, will vastly increase the number of such games. It also should increase the quality, enjoyment and quantity of overall play.

Rollback is not going to happen anytime soon - but this is a good idea. All the code is there, just a little bit of 'glue' and it will work! 🙂

On the 'to do' list.

First let me say thanks for all that you do. I like the rollback idea. As one who is prone to a lot os blunders, it sounds great to me😵😵😵 - 06 Nov '03 10:24
