Would you like to take back a move during a game? You can—but only if you’re playing a 'Takeback' game in Daily Chess. In Live Chess, takebacks aren’t available.
How to create a takeback game
💡 Takeback games are always unrated and provide a great tool for learners and those willing to act as guides.
Click 'Play' in the left side menu, and select 'Play' from the appearing menu
On the 'New Game' screen, click on the time control box and select a Daily game from the drop-down
After you've chosen the time control for your daily game, click on 'Custom'
Make sure the 'Rated' toggle is off to see the 'Allow Takebacks' option.
Toggle 'Allow Takebacks' and click 'Play' to find your match or send your challenge!
How to use the takeback feature
In a takeback game, the 'Take Back Move' icon (curved arrow) appears under the move list:
Either player can request a takeback at any time:
If it's your move, clicking 'Takeback' will undo your opponent's last move, returning the turn to them. (You might use the chat feature to suggest an alternative move.)
If it's not your move, clicking 'Takeback' will undo your last move, making it your turn again.
