Announcing United Chess Competitions Partners Program Chess Game!

Hey everyone! We're officially announcing that the registration for the first ever United Chess Competitions Partners Program Chess Game is opened!

So what is it?

UCCPPCC is a new way to play a chess game, where clubs are not looking after the whole White or Black army, but instead, play for a single piece! As we reached 32 Partner Clubs, it's now possible to start this amazing event!

Firstly, Club Owners need to choose, for which piece their club is going to play. They should create a public vote in their club(create a news thread). Be fast, as there are only two Rooks, Knights, or Bishops and only ONE Queen and King! Important: all members from the club, who are going to participate in the UCCPPC MUST join this club. Otherwise, they won't be able to take part in votes for the move(later in the document) 

When both White and Black pieces are taken by the clubs, the game begins!

Each "move" consists of two phases: Vote for the Piece and Vote for the Move. Then I'll update the position and the next move begins. Obviously, White and Black make moves on after another, just like in a real chess game.

Vote for the Piece Phase.
At the beginning of each move, all White or Black clubs(depends of who makes a move) need to vote, which piece will make a move this time.

Only Club Owners are allowed to vote in this phase. You can't vote for yourself. The Club(and the its piece) with the most votes will make a move in the next phase. If there are two or more clubs with the same number of votes, a mini vote happens. This time, all the clubs vote for one of these clubs. 

Vote for the Move Phase.
After the Piece is determined, Vote for the Move starts. This time, all members from the chosen club(including the Club Owner) are allowed to vote for the move they're going to make! Again, the move with the most votes win. If there are two or more moves with the same number of votes, a similar mini vote happens.

After the Vote for the Move Phase ends, it'll be time for the next move and so on.

The game ends after checkmate or stalemate.

Details.
The game itself(all the votes) will happen in this forum: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/united-chess-competitions-partners-program-chess-game-forum-thread. After every move, I will update the current position and post it at the end of the forum. I will send a message with the current phase. Please DO NOT SPAM in the official UCCPPCC forum! All off-topic messages will be deleted by me. The current game position will be shown on the club's main page, too. Top three clubs by points will be displayed there also. Points system is not related to Partners Leaderboards! I will not update everything immediately! It can take time, so please be patient!

A Club receives:

10 points as a King Piece, if they stay uncheckmated till the end of the game.

9 points as a Pawn Piece, if they stay uncaptured till the end of the game.

8 points as a Knight Piece, if they stay uncaptured till the end of the game.

7 points as a Bishop Piece, if they stay uncaptured till the end of the game.

6 points as a Rook Piece, if they stay uncaptured till the end of the game.

5 points as a Queen Piece, if they stay uncaptured till the end of the game.

2 points for every capture.

1 point for every check.

10 points for every checkmate.

For these points, you can buy cool perks in the future games! But for now, let's stay with these basic rules. To register your club, please write your club's name and the Piece you've chosen in the forum: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/united-chess-competitions-partners-program-chess-game-forum-thread 

Of course, if you have any ideas, feel free to share them in the comments section!

Hope you enjoy this new activity!
