Anyone else think that this is a grand idea?

2 nano-seconds is 100% more than you need.
🙂
Seriously, this suggestion has been made numerous of times and have alwas been turned down.
Do like this: (1) Do your move. (2) Look at it once more by doing a blunder check. (3) Click submit move.
If you don't do the (2) part, then you have to blame yourself.

I would suggest this is a bad idea.

I used to be in favour of this idea (at least for beginners) but have come around to the other way of thinking, that you need to learn not to make blunders, and it's a necessary part of improving your chess.
And if you look at my rating graph you will see that I've been here over a year and haven't learned yet ... 😳
