I welcome your comments.
I'd imagine time X to be about 30sec-1min (it is a time limit, so if all teammates submit sooner, then it ends sooner). Time Y to be about 10 sec.
Anybody want to write this program? It should be for Android phones/tablet (because they are cheap ... and also what I have); it should be locally networked where players are all physically together (prefer via WiFi Direct for the extra range since there'll be many people; but BT maybe good too since it is lower power; do not prefer anything requiring a router/AP or Internet. I'd like to use this program at chess tournaments).
I have an idea for multiplayer chess.
It's played like standard chess but by teams instead of individuals.
Members on the same team submit moves within a given amount of time X and the system takes the move with the most votes; WRT ties the system selects the best of the tied moves based on computer score. If multiple ties score the same, the system asks members to vote on those moves only within a given amount of time Y (where Y is << X). Final tie breaker is random resolve.
The system always displays the computer scores for all submitted moves (as a learning tool and as a way for teammates to rub each other) after the turn.
