Eg the "Post" button here is such a botton: It changes to "please wait..."
answer and try it out! 😉

Originally posted by Aikopeople don't want to wait 5 seconds for the move to register. I'm an advocate of the 5 minute takeback option if your opponent hasn't moved in that time period.

Originally posted by AikoI click on move, hold the mouse button, and quickly scan the board 1 last time. Its amazing what you suddenly see when the button is clicked (but not released).

There could only ever be a take back button IF your opponent hadn't seen your move. That means if your opponent hasn't been into the game screen and hasn't clicked on the "info" tab on the My Games page.
I'd be hella p'd off if I had just spent 4 minutes 59 seconds trying to figure out a move, and then realise that my opponent had taken back the move.
Even with the conditions I mentioned above, I'm not sure if I'm for the take back function, although I guess it would be a nice optional feature for two players who wished to agree to have the capability at the start of a game on a game by game basis.

Originally posted by RagnorakI never look at the game when its not my move so i wouldn't use this, I guess its an option although you could always just spend another 5 mins thinking about your move. It could be annoying if after your move you saw a better one but you just missed the 5 min timer as well.
No way!
