Vote Chess Guidelines

Our primary activity is group discussion (vote) chess. We owe our success to teamwork and to the spirit of friendly and respectful cooperation which exists among us

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 time to discuss and decide the moves we choose. There are many exceptions to this rule, so this is not a rule, it's a suggestion. Vote when you feel it is appropriate. If you vote early there is no need to tell us about it. Just do it.

Do not use our games as blitz practice.
Prior to 24 hours on the clock; please do not submit a comment that you have voted early, or what move you voted for, or a comment which contains the current votes.

I expect everyone to use good judgment and remember this is a team effort.  


Chess engines are NOT allowed in 0ur vote chess games. Archived computer games are also NOT allowed.

DO NOT MENTION ENGINE ANALYSIS IN OUR VOTE CHESS GAMES!

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 madand 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 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.

 

Enjoy the games!
