* Individuals can suggest one or more moves - preferably with plenty of time to go. The moves are discussed and analysed, and the preferred moves will become obvious - and why.
* During the first move of a Vote Chess game, one member will volunteer to be the group leader. If there is no volunteer, this duty will fall upon the Vote chess Coordinator.
* The best result is where everyone agrees on a single move - everyone then votes for that move. The Leader will judge between the suggested moves and will give a FINAL CALL in BOLD LETTERS for one predecided move, recommended by the majority during the 24 hrs remaining (as further explained below). Members are encouraged to follow the leader and submit their vote as FINALLY CALLED by the leader. In case of dispute, members may vote for their own move, BUT it is always in the interest of the group that EVERYBODY FOLLOW the leader's final call. LEADER is expected to be neutral and willing to give final call even against his own wish if THE MAJORITY demands. Members are always free to contact the Super-Admin if they feel that the Leader is not being neutral and impartial. Super-Admin will adjudicate such disagreements.
* At times, participants will disagree with the leader. When this is the case, participants may vote on which one they feel is the best.
* People's geographical locations need to be taken into consideration - allow them time to read and comment.
* Please do not vote until the last 24 hours of the game - this is to allow good discussion and preferred move/s to become clear. It is acknowledged that time zones may mean you have to vote with a lot of hours to go...
* Exceptions to the above are if you know you're not going to be around in the last 24 hours, if there's a clear path to forced mate or if there's general consensus in the discussion to vote early for other reasons.
* When discussing moves, please refer to them by their move number and using proper algebraic notation.
