Isn't the submit button some kind of confirm?
I mean, make a move, look at the new position, and then confirming it by pressing submit...
I've blundered away my share of queens too, but I'm doubtful even this kind of "are you sure" prompt would have really changed anything.

Agreed,
I was probably shell shocked when I made the original post.
A 57 year old knee-jerk reaction to an unforgivable blunder.
However such a function does exist on http://www.schemingmind.com/default.aspx

Having just blundered a queen away, the idea came to mind that a confirm option for a submitted move possibly be an option.
This has probably been raised before.🙂
Originally posted by deeploserI know what you mean deep, but that button has saved my neck on more than one occasion. As for a confirm button, I agree that with the analyse boards feature and the ability to make the move before hitting the submit move button the idea may seem superfluous, especially for the stronger players out there. I am only just starting to play chess though, and the feature may have helped me a couple of times, however having made blunders of biblical proportions in the last week or 2 the lack of the button has taught me to check my final move very carefully before hitting the submit button!
I for one hate confirmation buttons. Delete. Are you sure you want to delete this item? If I wasn't sure I wouldn't have pressed delete.
just my 2p worth!

I realised that often (especially in the past), I'd click, and straight away notice the move was a blunder, so I clicked on the Submit Move button, but didn't leave go of the mouse button until I had one last look at the board. It's saved me a number of times. If I spotted that my move was a blunder, I'd just move the mouse off the submit move button and let go.
