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. + +See Also: accept + +[Last modified: June 14, 1995 -- Friar] + |
