I remember that Diep took back moves in the game against quark when Vincent put the position wrong after Diep crashed and I understood based on watching ICC that the moves that were based on the wrong position were already done on the board and quark replied to them(at least the board on ICC was updated to the wrong position and Vincent posted analysis based on the wrong position).
