Hello everyone,

I’d like to ask the club whether we should organize a vote chess match against another chess club.

What is vote chess?

In vote chess, the entire team plays one game together. Instead of one player deciding the moves, everyone in the club votes on what move to play, and the move with the most votes is played.

Usually the format works like this:

Both clubs have a discussion period each move.
Members suggest moves and discuss ideas, plans, and tactics.
At the end of the voting period, everyone votes.
The move with the most votes is played.

So instead of many boards, it’s one game played by the whole club together.

Possible advantages

• Everyone can participate, not just a few players.
• It creates interesting discussion about strategy and ideas.
• Stronger players can help teach newer players.
• It can be a fun team activity.

Possible downsides

• Moves can take a long time because of the voting process.
• Sometimes the best move might not win the vote.
• Discussions can get messy if many people suggest different ideas.
• The game may last weeks or even months.

Vote
