If the Fritz/ChessMaster move was published (in the 'Vote log'?) after each voted-upon move, any correlation might become more obvious.

there are very frequent blunders in vote chess
Hi gang,
I like vote chess. It gives me a chance to get to know my fellow group members. Also, it is low tension. I mean I am not so worried about making an error, #1 because all the rest of the big brains on my team will correct/save me and #2 these don't count against my rating. I consider them 'fun' games. I like them better as a team/group contest rather than the Chess.com global games.
Watch your backrank.
I like vote chess because you can learne alot from others. Here is the problem I have with it, your teammates all suggest a move and then alot of them tell everyone why they should make that paticular move and then they give a certain continuation that can be acheived after that move. I put a couple of those moves through my buddies chessmaster game and these moves and the continuations were all 100% on the dot with the chessmaster engine. I think alot of people are using chess engines for vote chess. I can see a 2000 rated player and up matching a chess engine but not anyone else. I would like to see some teams play vote chess but have them by rating categories. You take a vote chess game with 1300-1500 players and their moves would be totally different than a vote chess game that has nothing but 2000+ rated players. Right now it seems like it is engine vs engine, is my engine stronger than yours thing. This is just my opinion, am I way off base here or do some agree.
