Mode suggestion - Infinite Monkeys

The concept is simple - you get a random game that's in progress and make one move. That game is then sent to a different player, and you continue doing moves in different games. If no games exist in the database that you haven't moved in yet, then a new game is generated and you get to play the first move.

As far as time is concerned, I think it'd be best to give each user 5 minutes a day, to spend as they wish. So they can sit 5 minutes on one move, or blitz out dozens of games. While the mode is mostly for fun, you can obviously rank players based on the results of the games they moved in. The laws of randomness work out so over thousands of games, the skill of other players doing other moves will be equal for anyone, and only the skill of the participant will play a role.

I believe this mode would be casual, fun, highly streamable and feel a lot like puzzles, but without feeling orchestrated.

what if one delivers a checkmate, does the win only belongs to them? how does this site tell if a move is made with the help of 3rd party or not? if one side seems to be too strong, does it mean all players who play that side will be suspected?

If one side wins, all players that made moves for that side are counted as "winners", regardless of quality of their contributions.

The cheating question is the same as for any other mode - if you consistently make top engine moves, you will be suspected. Cheating is less of a problem here, because even if your engine suggests an "engine move", it doesn't mean the next player will follow it up correctly.

Wow nice idea

I wouldn't get extremely hung up on the rating, as it's not really the point of something that is, at the end, essentially random. That said, I'm using the same logic that every team game with a solo rating system (CSGO, LoL, etc.) uses - your skill should shine through as the elements of randomness slowly converge towards the mean. I don't think it's that accurate in those games, where teamwork is a serious consideration, but when we're talking about something as mathematical and predictable as chess, it might actually work. Even getting completely losing positions should equalize with getting mates-in-1.

love tat idea,

Why would ratings even matter or be needed? I'd say vote chess is close to that already, except some clubs don't like people to vote freely. I like the idea, but those kinds of games often end up a total dog's breakfast. Which is why some clubs don't like people to vote freely, I guess. Sounds like bad chess to me. Maybe I'm not getting something.
