Taking Back A Move
This must be the worst habit, as it is close to a violation of the rules (Stones, once put on the board, can't move unless they are captured.) I remember very distinctly a Japanese fellow, who was very well seen in the club, truly a nice person, always cheerful, showing this bad habit time and time again. One really needed to play fast, because if you wondered how to take best advantage of his mistake, he would take his move back, laughing to himself and tapping himself on the head for so much stupidity. --Dieter When playing on the computer if you slip when clicking on the spot you want, asking to take back is fine if you say you slipped right away. --Andrew Although I don't find it especially rude, it is a bad habit. You should think it out well enough not to have to take back a move. In an old go instruction manual, it said that it is quite common to ask to take back a move and polite to allow it, but it is still a bad habit.
