I would like to say that for the most part vote chess goes well, but as a game that I am currently taking part in has demonstrated I think we need to have some basic ground rules.
1. Be Respectful. Fairly simple as they would say on Breaking Bad, DBAA
2. When suggesting a move, provide a reason for it. This is to show a reasoning that can be backed up and critiqued. for example don't just say I suggest Be7... say I suggest Be7 because it is mate.
3. wait until there is fairly solid analysis on all candidate moves, and prefferably until we have come to a consensus on which candidate moves are playable to vote.
4. Don't get mad just because your move wasn't picked. it is not a reflection on what we think of you or what we think of your move, maybe there was something better.
5. Don't be afraid to be wrong. thats how we learn, and sometimes in being wrong you might just open up a different even better move.
6. Don't be afraid to suggest a move that looks like only a crazy person would play it. This is the Kings gambit after all and most of the chess world calls us crazy for playing it anyway so why not sac a knight in the opening!
