Question Once you move a chess piece to a position on the board can you keep your hand on that piece and check the board to see if it's a good move before removing it. Or do you have to know your move before you touch the piece and there after make your move and quickly remove your hands and the move can't be changed.

Answer Hi Alton Jones! Thanks for your question.
A move is considered complete when you take your hand off of the piece. If you don't like where you put the piece, you can make a different move with it if you haven't removed your hand from the piece. When you touch a piece, you have to move that piece if it has a legal move.
