The Fortnight Speed Vote League is registering teams now for Season 3, and this group is invited to participate!!!

We play Vote Chess at 10-mins per turn.  This is an incredibly fast, exciting and intense way to play chess!!!  The entire game is played in a single day, with each team making a move every 20 minutes.  Since it is so easy to timeout at this speed, these games are scheduled in advance (usually on a Saturday) so that each team can have their players online and ready to play.  No one needs to be online for the entire game (although many choose to be), as long as there is SOMEONE online every 20 minutes to make a move.

With each team making exactly 3 moves per hour, an average game lasts 8-12 hours, although there have been a few battles that raged for more than 24 hours.  Because these games can be so time consuming, we have decided to switch to a monthly schedule so that each team will only need to play 1 game per month (starting in June).

If this group would like to play in Season 3, please go to this thread to register:

Thanks for taking the time to read this!!!  I hope to see you all in Season 3!!!

This is very nice... but if we enter, it's rather intensive, as it sometimes take 81 moves , so that is 27hours (more as a day), the best way to do this is to take turns... like the people in the USA starts , and  the people in Europe take over after 8 hours  (Australia and New Zealand are also awake) , when Europe sleeps, than the USA and  Australia and New Zealand will be there... than USA and Europe again! It is really tiring , and you need a good night sleep after that! But s it Nice!

Lol.  Only once did a game go to 81 moves.  The 2nd longest was also in the playoffs at 75 moves.  Both of them were draws.  I think those are the only 2 that's actually broken the 24 hour mark (I think there was one other, but it wasn't a league game).  You do need to plan for at least 12 hours tho, just in case it's a close game.  Like I said, no one needs to be online for the whole time, but there needs to be at least one person at all times.

it could be cool but we gotta got it controlled, like who can participate, which moment, etc.

Me I say no, for ordinary Vote Chess we are max 7 people so SVC is a joke for us, sorry, but that's how I see things, yo!

gab knows our vote chess better than anybody so I suppose it will have to wait
