Request for resign confirmation (issue #51)

Public forum discussion.

I just filed bug request #51 with the following text (hope it will be implemented...):

Hi Richard,

On my smartphone (android) I made a terrible misclick or two in my Einstein championship game against bennok, and worse it was in the championship :-(.

On my phone I tapped < to see the previous move, but apparently I hit the resign button. Then I tapped forward > and probably hit the Send button. Now I lost the game instead of taking the 2-1 lead.

I am not asking for a replay, but would appreciate if there was some kind of popup or button to ask if I really want to resign. Specially on your mobile phone you can make a misclick/mis-tap like this easily.

Could you please introduce such an extension???

Kind Regards, Paul Wiselius

Some Solutions

Get a bigger display, or one with a higher resolution

Use a small stylus instead of a big finger (or even a bigger thumb)

Magnify before any critical processes (more so if on a live site)

Skip important moves and play later on a tablet/computer

Here is a solution to review recent moves without accidentally hitting the resign.  First, make any random move, then it will go to a  new screen with  a send move button, and below that, a message box, and below that, arrow buttons to review your game, and the arrow buttons are far enough away from the "send move" button to not worry about accidentally hitting that.
