Would be good if a bunch of us (like 25) could sign up to play daily with the super GMs in a vote type situation. Both sides get 2 or 3 days a move and the side with a bunch of us say 1200-1800 rated players gets to vote on move after discussion. I remember years ago on another i.d. I had here we played Daniel Rensch and one of his buddies rated around 2500 and actually won! The collective mind is stronger than a single or a few minds, go Borg!

That game has been remembered as infamous, because bot cheaters participated.

Such vote game could be possible only for trusted users, certainly not for anonymous non-premium members.

I've suggested adding a feature to allow clubs to play vote chess against titled players, and it would count as a daily game for the titled player.  I know at least one staff member loved the idea, but I don't think it's extremely high on the priority list.  At the very least, it's not likely to happen until v2 is gone for good.

Thanks for the replies.....did not seem like a bot game when it was played because there was substantial discussions before votes, unless they were talking bots??? Maybe the just used that as excuse for a loss?
