Auto decline takeback offers #60

Closed lsiem closed 6 years ago

tttony commented 6 years ago

If the opponent offer a takeback, when you move the offer is delined automatically

ddugovic commented 6 years ago

But Lichess has a user preference to disable takebacks?

ornicar commented 6 years ago

Indeed, use the preference instead.

Hi, It seems that when the bot is configured in Lichess preferences to permit takeback, the bot never replies to takeback offers. I clearly don't speak Python, so, I'm maybe totally wrong, but looking at lichess-bot.py, it seems the takeback events are ignored. I also had a look at lichess.py, and found nothing to reply to takeback offers. I also found nothing in config.yml that could be a setting for that. What did I miss?

If the feature request is, "Auto decline takeback offers" then don't configure the bot to permit takeback offers... just select "Never". We don't need additional code to solve this issue: image

Thanks for answering so quickly. Unfortunately, it is not the desired behaviour. What I'm looking for is a way to have the bot accept the incoming takeback requests. I selected the "always" option in the screen you copied. So, the bot receives a takeback offer (because takebacks always require approval), but never replies to it ... so there's no tackback possibility.

@fathzer You didn't miss anything. Lichess-bot doesn't have the capability to respond to move takeback requests. In its current form, lichess-bot does not listen for incoming messages from lichess while the bot is thinking about its move, so it can't respond to takeback requests. If you want, you can open a new issue to request this feature, though it may take some time to implement.

Thanks a lot, I've just created the #934 feature request.
