Hi all the Vote Chess games are great!!. But it would be even better if the game was played for rating points. Individuals on the Winning team increases their rating points, and individuals on the losing team decreases their rating points. I think that This would reduce the number of quick voters, and people would actually read the posts before voting, and the teams would cooperate better with each other.   

What do others think about this suggeston?

Well people could just pick the Winning Side when they're just about to win it... 

People will also leave the Vote Chess Game IF and before they believe they'll lose.

 To stop this problem Eric should make it so that once you join a team you cannot quit until the game is over.  Their should also be a time limit as to joining a game. (first five moves)

Somehow I don't think the outcome of a chess game will have the same impact as a presidential election.

 The incumbent president is in power because of votes cast by voters of kiddy minds.
