Vote Chess Rules:

1. Teamwork in VC is the most important: Discuss strategies and ideas with your team before you vote. You can simply suggest the notation of the move e.g 2...Nf3 or what is always very helpful, create a diagram with the plan of the move and your ideas. This increases the chances that the move being voted for is better.

2. Respect the opinions of others members: Be polite and constructive in your discussions and votes.

3. Learn from experience: Vote Chess can be a great way to learn from other players and improve chess strategies.

4. Listen to higher rated players or captains if you don't know where to move.When should you make a move in a VC game?

5. There is someone called vote chess captain. They will tell you after a certain time which move to vote for. This VC captain takes the best move out of the discussions and then says that you should vote for this move. It will look like this: Vote Call: Nf3

6. If there is a Vote Call in the last 24 hours, vote for it! If there is no vote call, you can choose your favorite move and vote for it!

7. Do not sabotage vote chess games by intentionally casting votes for unfavorable moves.
