While diagrams are useful for making a recommendation and promoting it broadly, I must caution against using diagrams outside of this forum for pure discussion of options, for the following reasons:
- Diagrams are too easy to read, and so may easily be misinterpreted as a recommendation ("Vote for this line"), whereas in fact the intent may have been just to share an option to be considered.
- Diagrams take up much space, so it would even further exacerbate the effect of bloated discussions on 10+ pages in the main forum, and the inevitable consequence of confused voters.
- (Warning: This one may sound somewhat controversial.) Inability to read a line of 3-4 moves without looking at a diagram intended for discussion purposes may correlate (though perhaps not for all voters) with an inability to view a position for all its aspects and see the big picture ideas. So the people who can't read without a diagram are largely the same group who would focus on just the next move or two -- and consequently their ideas would be of little value, generally.
Maybe we can assign certain members to keep track of certain lines.
