Hi, I was wondering why in the case of a vote chess tie, the move that was voted for first wins? Often in my experience, a bad move is voted for first, then a good move is suggested, and it's a race to see if the new move can overtake the old. Right now, in the case of a tie, the older bad move wins. It makes more sense to me for the last move to go through.

 

Thoughts?

its 50-50 really. i presume staff had a choice between which one to put forward and they just happened to pick the first one. I doubt they give it much thought tbh.

I think it's more likely that the last move be better, after all the discussion's over.
