1 - Find the best move - To accomplish this goal we submit and discuss candidate moves in the game forum.
2 - Play the best move - To accomplish this goal we vote for a move selected from the candidates which have been suggested. Voting secretly for moves not mentioned in the game forum is contrary to the purpose of this group and could result in your being removed from the game or from the group.
Our games typically allow three days for us to make a move. The first 48 hrs is for submission and suggesting of moves, plans and strategies and for the subsequent discussion, evaluation and appraisal of those candidates by the members of the team.
Votes are far more effective when saved until the final 24 hrs. If you must vote early for personal reasons there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. However, there is no need to mention it as that may encourage others to vote early. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule and there is no need to list them all here. Sound judgement, respect for your teammates and self-discipline should be your guides.
To check your VC games hover [Home] select [Vote Chess] from the drop down menu and a list of your games will appear, arranged according to time remaining.
Moves can be submitted from inspiration, experience, books, articles, videos or from chess databases which can be found at various websites. Chess engines are not allowed in normal vote chess games. Archived computer games are also not allowed according to chess.com's definition of cheating. Please avoid mentioning computer analysis in our vote game forums.
Voting secretly for moves which have not been submitted as candidates is contrary to the purpose of this group. When such votes appear during a game this could result in some member(s) being removed from the game.
We strive to reach a consensus through discussion and vote together as a team. At times there may be two or more moves which are roughly equivalent but which lead to different strategies. In those circumstances an "Open Vote" will decide it. In this case only submitted candidates should be voted for. It is important to remember we are not competing with each other. Even when we disagree, we play as a team, not as individuals.

This will ensure that you will receive alerts when it is our turn and it will also enable the [new comment alert] on your home page. If you submit a comment in the discussion forum at any time, that action automatically enables alerts for the remainder of that game.
Personal attacks on team mates or their suggested moves will not be tolerated. If you see a foolish move or blunder being suggested by another team member, be courteous, respectful and constructive in your appraisal. If you say "...Nc6 allows Qxg7#" that is fine. If you say "Dude, your move sucks" you will be hearing from me.
If you get mad and decide to quit the game or should accidentally click on [Leave Game] you will see a confirmation pop up which will allow you to stay in the game (suggested). If you still chose to leave; that action is irreversible.
Please respect your team mates and keep the language clean.
