Would this be possible to get going? maybe call it crowd chess... (has this ever been done before?)

A game of chess, with all the regular rules, except anyone can make a move for the side whose move it is by posting.  If you've already made a move for black, feel free to make a move for white later (but I guess don't make two moves in a row Smile)

It would be interesting to me to see the kind of game produced by random people making moves.  Kind of like a board set up in a public place, and people who walk by make a move as they pass until the game is over.

Of course you could also throw the game with a terrible move, but it would be nice if we tried to keep it interesting and not purposely play terrible moves.

It'd be neat if someone other than me made the first move... but if you really want me to kick it off... 1.e4

1...c5, btw you should post "edit" on the original board to add to the current position. That way we can keep the trolls out. So make the OP look like this....

1.e4 e5

Or maybe put in a diagram with the current position?

ok, so will everyone win or everyone lose?  from what i hear it is better to lose than to win.  it has something to do with enlightenment.

Oh, so it has been done.

Yeah, I was thinking it might fall flat -- worth a try though Smile

If I were to post 7...Nxe4 as Black's actual next move, would I just be ignored?

7...Nc6

8.Nb3

to khpa21 if 7...Nxe5 white will be a piece up after the exchanged, right ?

8...Qc7. What I meant was that one person's intentionally stupid move could(and would) derail this game. I was wondering such a move like the one I posted as an example would even be acknowledged.

yeah I just realized that, I don't know how we would go about this...
