Hrqls: "is that what you mean ?"

The conclusion is the same, but for a different reason. I agree that your point is also valid which gives this more credence.

You are saying you can rethink the move and I am saying I typed in the wrong move. So I want to edit it. Imagine a writer for a newspaper. The editor comes along before it is published. I want to be able to edit clerical mistakes.

I am not really thinking about the game. I am not pondering other moves. I am not planning ahead. I am just double checking to see if the move I inputted was actually the move I made on my own chess board at home.

I am playing 3 games of Japanese chess now. One is lower level, one is higher level it seems, and the other is probably closer to my level. So, it is a shame we can play that game with intended moves. I don't want to resign because I couldn't correct my move. However, I feel this is a waste.

This opponent and I are a good match. I am more interested in playing a decent game than a game with moves that were not entered in correctly.

If a chess magazine or article put in a wrong move from yesterday's grandmaster tournament, wouldn't an editor come along and correct this mistake when it was found out the move was not actually played?

That's essentially what is happening besides me being a grandmaster, lol. I made a move. Then, I went to the computer and I made a different move.

So, all I want is the option to correct it and reflect the move I actually made on the board before I entered the other one on the computer.
