<--- Typical KIA setup
This club is dedicated to playing the King's Indian Attack (KIA). It is the only opening we play. It is the only reason this club exists. Therefor we only play 1.Nf3 in our Vote Chess games. If we play 1.e4 then Black can deny us a KIA, for example by playing 1...d5.
If several members want to play a 1.e4 variation of the KIA then please contact me and let me know which variation you would like to play and I will create a VC game using a preset position.
This is a team effort. Please do not treat our group games as your personal game. We have these guidelines because our members want them.
Our games typically allow three days for us to make a move.
One Rule
Do not vote for a move unless it has been suggested in comments in the discussion forum and has not been refuted. If your move of choice has not been suggested then suggest it. There are NO exceptions to this rule. Offenders will receive one warning and if it re-occurs they will be removed from the game.
One Suggestion
It is recommended that members withhold their votes until the clock reads 24 Hours or less, so as to make the best use of our three day time control. There ARE exceptions to this rule. However, voting on the 1st day of our turn is only allowed in forced situations. Prior to 24 hours on the clock; please do not submit a comment that you have voted early or a comment which contains the current votes. I expect everyone to use good judgement. Votes are far more effective when we have discussed the pros and cons of our candidate moves.
Please use standard algebraic chess notation so we can all understand each other!

Chess engines are NOTallowed in 0ur vote chess games. Archived computer games are also NOTallowed. Please avoid mentioning computer analysis in our vote game forums. Moves can be submitted from experience, books, articles, videos or from chess databases which can be found at various websites.
If you see a foolish move or blunder being suggested by another team member please be courteous, respectful and constructive in your appraisal of the move. Let us judge the moves - not the people who suggest them.
If you get mad and decide to leave the game or if you should accidentally click on [Leave Game] you will see a confirmation pop up which will give you a second chance to stay in the game (suggested). If you still chose to leave; that action is irreversible.
Please show respect for your team mates and keep the language clean.
