Forum Game: Collection!

Sort:
Dyslexic_Goat

Hi everyone! The premise behind this forum game is simple: you can now trade, "buy" and "sell" chess games! If you buy a chess game, it becomes part of your collection.

 

All games that you play in are automatically yours, and free to trade as you see fit. A game's value, to you, is entirely decided by you; others might see differently. Your own games, however, are less rare -- in your collection -- than games owned by other people, so, another person's games will likely be more highly sought after. 

After buying a game, you 'own' the game: you may claim you were that player, making the moves of its previous owner. (For clarity, the other player in that game owns his moves, so in theory you are simply buying/selling one half of the game). 

If another person plays the exact moves of a game you own, you may attempt to charge a royalty! (Don't ask me for legal advice.) So, if you have ever recorded a match with you playing the Fool's Mate, now's your chance to make some big $$$$. 

 

The rules to claiming you played a game:

 

The game's link, if played online or available in online record, or

A photograph of the score sheet, if it is a tournament game from real life. Those are likely to be worth much more.

 

Good luck, fellow investors! Let's see if this idea can entertain the forums.
