I like the idea, especially balancing out the level of members on the same team. If one person is rated much higher, they are pretty much playing the game on their own often times.
Business Idea?

This idea is definitely something I would appreciate. Daily matches obviously have many of these things, but as you said VC doesn't, and it could definitely use some improvement. I haven't played on the mobile app, but the rating restrictions, player restrictions, and stuff about making a move once all players have voted would be incredible.
If you can think of a way to bring these ideas to chess.com and offer to try to figure it out, I would back you in any way I could. I am no tech guy, but I would definitely support this.

My only question would be about the ratings. On chess.com the ratings are based on daily, blitz, etc, but this app wouldn't have those options, correct? Just collab chess? So would the ratings be based on collab chess games? Just curious. But I think it's a super cool idea👍 same as noob, I would definitely support this

Thanks guys. I'm not sure. There would definitely need to be a rating system. I think similar to rapid, bullet, daily etc, collab would indeed have it's own system but you'd still be rated as an individual so you are not tied into a team and you could play in multiple collab games at once. So a pairs game might consist of a 1400 and a 1600 vs a 1700 and a 1750. So the players in the first team get more points for the win than the 2nd. You might take the average or the max rating per team and do the calculations from that. Maybe the rating spread has an impact.

Seems someone else mentioned this on chess.com in 2012! https://www.chess.com/forum/view/suggestions/2v2-3v3-4v4-options-and-more
Would anyone want to help me try this idea out as a rough proof of concept? I was thinking I could test it out loosely on chess.com. Ideally, I want 4 players similarly rated and I would set up 2 temporary teams on chess.com and you would play a 2v2 vote chess game against each other. I would then just want feedback on how the game went and in particular how it compares to regular vote chess. What was better, what was worse, what extra features would you want etc.
Anyone want to help or just play for the experience?

I think it's a super good idea. I don't feel like I'm nearly good enough or devoted enough to chess to be a good choice for this though.

It's not about being a good enough player, it's about the experience and your opinion is definitely valuable if you're up for it.

For a casual 2v2 type thing to help you test it out, I'm happy to play. It doesn't have to be a particularly competitive game since it's mainly to help you see how it goes, so we could just do something crazy. If there's a big ratings imbalance, the stronger team can agree to play an unsound but fun opening, like the Halloween Gambit, to try and even things up a little bit.
I've been playing vote chess since @mohotma67 got me into this group a few months back. I'm enjoying it and I think this club is amazing and thanks to @n00bm4ster for founding it and everyone for taking part, I've learned a huge amount.
However, I feel there is a distinct lack of care for it by the developers and I really feel that there are a tonne of improvements that could be made. I guess that Vote Chess just isn't popular enough for them to make it a priority for development. Doing some research around, I can't find much in the way of vote chess or even collab chess. Here are some problems I've encountered:
This has got me thinking a lot. I'm a Technical Lead/Software Architect. I'm an employee but I've been on the lookout for a business opportunity for a while now and I think there might be something here. Especially with the recent boom thanks to the Queens Gambit on Netflix!
What if there was something like "Collaboration Chess". Not "Vote Chess" although there will be similarities! Here's how the above problems could be fixed:
The app would be focused solely on this collab idea, where teams/pairs have a rating. You could join an open seek as a pair but you get assigned a pair of similar rating and vs a similarly rated pair. It might be possible to write some algorithm to create a personal rating based on a team rating.
This kind of project is obviously pretty huge and in all honesty, probably not something I will realistically pursue but just putting ideas out there, a bit of "blue sky" thinking. If there is a strong love for it though, I might! Chess.com could fix a lot of the problems with the poor mobile experience and notifications but the Collab idea might have some weight. Maybe I could develop something and just sell it to them!
Any thoughts?
P.s. On the very slim chance that I did develop something and the slim chance we move over there, I'd still want our fearless leader to be our captain
