hi all,

Posting from IM forum for benefit of all newcomers

Many people are still missing the concept of vote chess. It is not just to look at the board and cast your vote...... The idea is to communicate with YOUR team, why you want to vote on a move, and either get others to agree with your choice, or encourage them to show you why their choice is better...... At the very least, just read the team comments people are making about your move choice and other potential moves. Please wait until the last possible moment in your schedule to actually cast your vote..... You will often find that where you anticipated moving, is not where you would have moved had you thought about it more..... I know we have all made moves in our individual games that we wish we would not have made upon further reflection. Perhaps, by playing vote chess we can improve our individual chess vision so we make better decisions in our own games.

Remember, vote chess is played as a team game. If you are not planning on reading and/or participating in the team comments, why bother being on a vote chess team? Just play your individual games, and/or participate in our team match play tournaments where you alone are playing the game and matching wits with your opponent...... However, play vote chess in order to learn why others that see the same board you are seeing, will make different decisions.....

Vote Chess is an opportunity to help each other improve their individual game, while we play and try to win together as a team. I hope more people in our group will try some vote chess games, think as a team, and see how rewarding and fun it can be.
