Confirming moves before submitting

By default, clicking a point plays your move immediately. If you'd rather have a moment to look before it counts — especially on a phone, where a stray tap is easy — turn on Confirm moves before submitting under Settings.

With it on, clicking a point places a provisional stone and shows two buttons under the board:

  • Submit Move — play it. Your opponent sees nothing until you do.
  • Cancel Move — take the stone back and choose again. Nothing is sent.

The setting is per account and applies to all of your games, correspondence and real-time alike.
