Vote Chess

In vote chess games some people have been complaining that lower-rated people are voting for bad moves. The experts and masters cannot do anything about this as they are outnumbered. What I suggest is that your rating counts for the number of votes you get. For example, a 2400 rated player gets 2400 votes, and a 1200 rated player gets 1200 votes. This way, the higher rated people won't feel so helpless and outnumbered. What do you think?

Works for me.  A detial, but I'd say move the decimal point 3 to the left so the vote count isn't huge. 2400 get's 2.4, etc.

Speaking of vote chess could there be a "My Vote Chess Games" section under My Home. It would be more convenient than navigating through 10 pages to get to your desired game.

If you are going to play vote chess, you might as well play dice chess, like they did in the middle ages. Same level of meaningfulness.

I think the most modern solution is that the people playing could vote for a smaller group to represent them in a "vote chess electoral college" only to later find out that the  move with the most votes (which could possibly have avoided a backrank catastrophe) didn't count anyway. Get with the times people Tongue out
