I think I would like to see how the forum and tournament work out first. All this is very new to me. Although I'm keen to try new things, at the moment I feel a little like fish out of water. However, the idea of a consultation game seems attractive.
What is Vote Chess?
Vote Chess is a game played by multiple players on different sides where each player casts a vote to try and determine the final move. Then the move with the most votes is played.
This can be a great training tool. It open doorways to the thinking of both stronger and "still learning" players. Use the in-game notes section to discuss plans and moves before ultimately casting your vote.
Are players interested in this team style game?
