Vote Chess is a form of play in which the moves with the most votes represent the team.

These matches will always be played with a time control of two-days (48 hours) per move. due to power outages in some countries that can last for an entire day. For more information, click here.
In our vote matches, there is one default judge, who will be the administrator @minhminh2211. However, additional judges may be designated for a match if needed. The judges will discuss the possible best moves in a position.
Players and judges will begin voting once the decisions are made. There will always be more than one option to vote on, depending on the number of judges and the possible moves they can see on the board (unless the position clearly shows tactical themes or obvious checkmate patterns visible to all members).
If a member votes prematurely, they will be disqualified from the match.
If a player is suspected of using external assistance, they will also be disqualified.
If you post a move within the #VoteChess threads on Discord server or WhatsApp group, your opinion will not be considered and will be deleted, as it will be regarded as external assistance. You must first join that Vote Chess match in order to comment.
Players who insist on commenting moves without being joined to the Vote Chess match will be expelled from the club after the first warning.

Our judge

The administrator in charge of this game mode.

@minhminh2211

A) Judges will provide a list of the possible moves that have been discussed, and you can only vote for one of the moves on the list.

B) Be mindful in openings: If you propose an unusual opening that most players don't typically play, you must take responsibility for guiding us through its ideas and concepts. Posting videos, links to studies, or books is allowed.

c) If you're not sure how to write the continuation in your head, use the PGN tool (the chessboard icon above the note box).

D) The judges, at their discretion, may issue a warning or ban any team member for violating a rule, depending on the severity of the infraction.

E) If you notice a move or mistake suggested by another member, be courteous, respectful, and constructive in your feedback.

F) @minhminh2211 can choose a judge based on their Elo or specific aspects they have observed in the user, such as their mastery of certain openings or defenses, tactical sharpness, pattern recognition, understanding of endgames, positional strategy skills, and ability to evaluate complex variations. Experience in deep analysis and making critical decisions during high-level games can also be taken into account.
