This group is dedicated to playing the Reti Opening in Vote Chess. It is the only opening we play. In this club we play the Reti as an independent opening; not as a transpositional tool to other opening systems.
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 preferred move has not been suggested then suggest it before you vote for 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; too many to list them all. Teammates should vote when they feel it is appropriate. Please use good judgement and remember this is a team effort.
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.
If you vote early there is no need to tell us. Just do it.
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 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 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.
