Just copy pasting thoughts expressed in a forum, "Vote chess Basics" in other group where I am SA
Many people are still missing the concept of vote chess. It is not just to look at the board and cast your vote...... The idea is to communicate with YOUR team, why you want to vote on a move, and either get others to agree with your choice, or encourage them to show you why their choice is better...... At the very least, just read the team comments people are making about your move choice and other potential moves. Please wait until the last possible moment in your schedule to actually cast your vote..... You will often find that where you anticipated moving, is not where you would have moved had you thought about it more..... I know we have all made moves in our individual games that we wish we would not have made upon further reflection. Perhaps, by playing vote chess we can improve our individual chess vision so we make better decisions in our own games.
Remember, vote chess is played as a team game. If you are not planning on reading and/or participating in the team comments, why bother being on a vote chess team? Just play your individual games, and/or participate in our team match play tournaments where you alone are playing the game and matching wits with your opponent...... However, play vote chess in order to learn why others that see the same board you are seeing, will make different decisions.....
Vote Chess is an opportunity to help each other improve their individual game, while we play and try to win together as a team. I hope more people in our group will try some vote chess games, think as a team, and see how rewarding and fun it can be.
Two options for some basic rules. This is only a contribution.
Option A
1. Track the game by clicking "notify me of new comments".
2. Submit your opinion and don't vote. This way everyone learns more possibilities, in the end our vote will be more consistent and we will work as a team.
3. One of the super administrator or administrator will be responsible to vote 24 hours before the dead line to assure we don't loose on time (in a big group like this that shouldn't happen but we never know...). That way he can control the movespercentage as the votes are submitted (one has to count that sometimes members don't follow rules and that a winning move is not the ideal and even deviant from the main expressed lines).
4. On the final 24 hours, if a move is a consensus, the same administrator will guide the votes on that direction, if there's no consensus he will decide wich one will be voted.
Option B
1. Track the game by clicking "notify me of new comments".
2. Submit your opinion and wait to vote as much as you possibly can. This way everyone learns more possibilities and our vote will be more consistent.
3. Decide your vote based on the analysis of each participant member. Of course If you disagree you are free to submit your own move. Try however to be sure about it.
4. One of the super administrator or administrator will be responsible to vote 24 hours before the dead line to assure we don't loose on time (in a big group like this that shouldn't happen but we never know...). That way he can control the movespercentage as the votes are submitted (sometimes a winning move is not the ideal and even deviant from the main expressed lines)
Now this was posted in a vote chess game comment which I thought was a pretty good idea. To me it seems like it would save on confusion an we all could learn more thru the posting of ideas that each person has. Just a idea :)
