Exeter Chess Club: Takeback

Unedited log (except to preserve the anonymity of the guilty) of an unrated(!) blitz game played using SLICS at CHESSNET. My "tells" are not recorded by SLICS; my opponent was rated many points higher than me, on this server at least.

{*Anon says: No thanks NOW. The point of a takeback is to do it WHEN THE TYPO *}

{*Anon says: My problem is that you are a complete ass.*}
{*Anon tells you: I made a typo, called it BEFORE you moved, and you DECLINED *}
{*\   takeback. Then 20 moves later you ask if I want it.*}
{*Anon tells you: I was EVEN so kind as to point out Rg3!, which was the *}
{*\   proper response to the typo.*}
{*Anon tells you: This is UNrated, so a takeback makes ABSOLUTELY NO *}
{*\   DIFFERENCE*}
{*Anon tells you: So what? So when I stop moving, CHECK YOUR FREAKING WINDOW *}
{*\   and see that I'm talking.*}
{*Anon tells you: Then you WOULD realise it, and you wouldn't act like a *}
{*\   COMPLETE JERK.*}
{*Anon tells you: You're whacked.*}
