This forum details how to perform the monitor role in Vote chess.

The two checks are as follows.

Check for early votes

Check for non sanctioned votes

Sample message

Hi xxxx
You have breached the guidelines in the Team Australia (white) vs USA vote chess game move 5 by voting early and voting for an unauthorised move.

The short version of our Vote Chess Guidelines are:
1. Discuss possible 'best/candidate moves' first
2. Narrow the options through analysis and discussion
3. Wait for the Call to Vote
4. Vote only for the "Approved Moves"

Guideline link is here: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/team-australia-vote-chess-guidelines-1

Repeat disruptive voting can derail the match and may result in removal from the game.

If you're new to vote chess, please don't be discouraged from further participation and feel free to ask any questions. Some players are unaware that they need to scroll down to read the vote chess discussions and call to vote. If your vote was accidental simply place a note in the relevant vote chess game chat. If you strongly believe your move was overlooked in previous posts and should be voted for then the protocol is to wait for the call to vote then post your reasons so we may benefit from your insights.....then vote your move. Have a read of the following on why we have the rules...hope it makes sense https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/vote-chess-discussion-group
