Feedback on Vote Chess?

Any feedback on votechess?

We're going to be fixing the forums issues soon and adding a team list. And it is kinda early into the game to fully experience it, but still - any feedback?

Descriptivs stats over team members would be cool!

I like it but it will get old fast becaues th same game will go on

also the comment thing on it is a little weird

Well... As I said... Rating averages of White and Black on the details tab would be a nice info to see.

Looks great! Two brains are better than one.  Wink

Maybe to speed it up a little, if a certain move has a say X% advantage over the next highest move after a certian Y number of votes ... ? :)

Does vote chess affect my rating if my team wins or lose the game?

it is a little slow. this game will likely take a few months. cool concept though.

i'd like to see the voting breakdown per move for both sides after the game.  maybe even have both the average rank and highest rank displayed next to the percentage. also, it would be good to see what vote you chose if you played.  for curiosity sake.

we could make it so that each move is every 12 hours... but then people might miss them. thoughts?

i also agree with speeding it up a bit. 12 hours is ok i think, doesn't really matter if people miss a move once or twice, does it? jminkler also has a very good point, when a move is clearly best voted for, then it's a bit weird to wait another 10 hours..

it moves so slow... it gets boring fast

12 hours sounds a bit too short for me. What about 12 hours per move for let's say the first 10 moves- which are usually the less "interesting"- and then switch to 24 hours per moves ?

Jminkler's idea sounds pretty good to me as well : "Maybe to speed it up a little, if a certain move has a say X% advantage over the next highest move after a certian Y number of votes ... ? :)"

It's good - how long do we have per move now?  (This must be shown somewhere but I can't see where)   12 hours/24 hours either is OK.  We're bound to miss some moves no matter how long we get.  

 

I think it'll be fascinating to see how the games develop - will they be boring because we'll be going for the average move or thrilling because we'll tend towards the best moves.  Either way it's going to be fun. 

 

Is the teamlist just my team (I'm Black) - I assume so.  Aren't there a lot of us!?  :-)

Maybe this has already been suggested:

 

If X% of all team members has voted then pick the move collecting most votes.

I think after awhile it will repeat itself.  I would eventually like to see it explore different openings.  Set up the opening and start from there.  If not more than likely every votechess game will start out the same way.

I'd suggest not showing the current vote tally until the move is made because it may sway the incoming votes.

I like this suggestion, but I think we need to ensure that it does not trigger when there is a very close vote.  Perhaps the threshold should be X% of all team members AND the leading move is Y% ahead of the second place move.

I love the concept, and, I do not know if this has already been suggested, but could the same concept be applied to other situations?  For instance, a vote chess game between two groups, ie (Open Discussion vs. Chess.com Fans).  This would be fairly interesting.

 

Love the concept, it looks like it will be a bundle of fun!
