It Will be nice to have a button besides [ Submit Move] that when you pressed it will submit the move before the "move timeout" expires (1, 5,10,15... minutes, etc or hours) - The timer can be set in your profile. Many, many times I have moved in a hurry, realizing that I made a bad move seconds or minutes after I have pressed "Submit". Any Comments?

Could be used to hate-wait in a lost position.

True but they can do that now.
A delayed move/submit would just make it more convenient for those guys to do that.

so what you're saying is you want to "Take back" a move that has been submitted. Then play a different move, that you think is better... well the FAQ's is pretty clear about that issue...

No he's saying you make your move but it doesn't submit until right before your time runs out in case you change your mind.

Maybe the worst suggestion ever.

I experience the sudden flash of insight just after I submit my moves all the time. How can I be so blind before I make those idiotic moves?

Maybe a 10 second to one minute post submit regret cancel option might work.

Although I don't agree with the proposed idea, I want to applaud you for creating the vote.

Great to get some quick community feedback on an idea like this.

Sit on your hands. That’s what my chess teacher taught me after explaining the touched-piece rule to me. The submit button is for keeps, just like touching a piece OTB.
