Best Answer

Because Chess involves a lot of mental strain, they maintain their serious attitude for the games only, and relax and calm down when not involved so to rest their minds.

Similarly to other sports, players will remain casual and even friendly with other players, keeping the game attitude for the game, because they are only opponents on the field or on the table, not in real life.

At most tournaments you are not allowed to "do over" during a chess game. Most tournaments will enforce a rule that when a piece is lifted from the board, this piece must be moved.
