  <p>All chess engines allow take backs, but that's not important, it's just a computer, we make mistakes and correct them.</p>
  
  <p>My question is about real chess, is it allowed? both online and in real tournaments? What about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheating_in_chess#Touch-move_rule" rel="noreferrer">one touch rule</a>?</p>

  In tournament chess, you cannot take back a move.
  
  Once you intentionally touch one of your pieces (unless you clearly state that you are just adjusting its placement, by saying "adjust" or "j'adoube"), you must move it if possible. Once you release the piece on its destination square, you cannot change its destination. If you intentionally touch an opponent's piece, you must capture it if possible.

  What is real chess?
  
  In tournaments if you make an illegal move you have to take it back.  
  In casual club games it is often allowed so the game can continue while being more interesting.
  
  In some online forums it is allowed if both people agree.
  
  When ratings are involved I do not know of any place where take-backs are allowed.
