+takeback
+
+Usage: takeback [n]
+
+ Requests a takeback of 'n' half-moves in the current game. If 'n' is
+omitted then 1 is assumed. A "half-move" is defined as a move by one
+player. To request that the last move made be changed (whether you were
+the one to move last or your opponent moved last), you would request
+"takeback". If you wanted to change the last move made as well as the move
+prior to that, request "takeback 2".
+
+ Here's an example: suppose you are playing White and your opponent has
+just placed a piece on a square where it can be easily captured, and you
+capture it. Your opponent might realize the weak move he/she made and
+request "takeback 2" so that he/she doesn't lose material so easily. If
+you wish, you can accept the "takeback 2" request and continue the game
+from the previous position in the game. Both moves would be reversed, and
+it would be Black's move to make.
