There is a problem with vote chessgames timing out, especially for small groups. If no one submit a vote or make a comment when looking at the game, first time, then there is nothing to allert the members, when it's about to time out.

It would be nice if Chess.com provided a list of the vote games we're playing, on our homepage, or if the games were added to the current games list that already exist.

I would also like to see an easy means from "My Home" to get to all the vote chess games that *I* am currently participating in.  I only play in a very small percentage of vote chess games of each group... if the game doesn't show up in my alert list, I have to go searching for it, which is very painful.

My suggestion would be to add a "Vote Chess" link to the Control Panel and that page would include the current games I am participating in, as well as completed games that I did participate in.

One could also make an argument to have vote chess games show up on the online chess page, but I think that might be a weak argument Smile

I strongly support the nees for this "My Vote Chess" feature. Pling, could you take the responsibility of contacting chess.com and request this badly needed functionality?

I already did, but support sees no need to answer.

I wholeheartedly support this feature.

This would also have the big benefit of seeing at a glance who is to move (like you see for the online games). In the current list of vote chess games for a team, you have no idea whether it's your turn to move. The list is sorted by time but it could very well be the opponent team's move so the sorting doesn't help much.

Do I make sense?

The whole vote chess needs an upgrade.

Including this feature.

I can't wait for them to create a "My Vote Chess" page that looks and works just like the "My Online Chess" page, but the staff have been unusually silent on the whole subject.  There's apparently at least 3 separate threads about it now (probably more):

Yes I know Will. It has been needed for such a long time now it makes you wonder if the staff DO have any plans at all to develop this

I just discovered that "My Vote Chess" is now available from the "My Home" menu and it looks very nice.

Thank you, chess.com!
