I had a winning position and I captured with a pawn just to LOOK at the position... and I tried to click the board again to go back - but the arrow was over the "send" button.
It put me a rook down and ruined the game. I resigned right after it happened. I'm so mad.

I cannot understand how you did that. The arrow just happened to be at the submit button...? Why did you click anyway? You know how to undo a move as long it's not submitted, don't you?

I'm just disappointed that a long fought game ends with a mouse goof.
I did a similar thing once, and lost a game.
Then it was not a mouse goof, it was a conditional move wnet too far. I wlays try to find the best move, but then, when cc was new, I didn't put much brainpower to the next move. He moved and got my cc move fired at him, making me lose a piece, and further the game.
So I know how you feel.
I learnt something of it, though.

Like Qc8+, if you do Ke8-f7, then I do Qc7+ automatically. If you do something else, then nothing is done automatically. A very neat trick!
