Welcome to Super Chess!

We will have two teams, Light and Dark, fighting each other on a Chess game, two chess games will be going at the same time, on one, Light will be the white pieces and in the other the black pieces. Each day, a team will discuss what move should be made, and then the members of the team should PM me with the vote on the move they think should be played, then I move and it's the other team's turn. In case of a tie, the first PMed votes have more power than later ones, however you can change you vote later if desired (Now you can post your votes with the move bolded if you don't want to PM me).

The catch is that the teams have infinite resources abailable to find the best move possible (That means they can try using Computer programs or be helped by Grand Masters, etc.) that's why it's called Super Chess, because a blunder is unlikely in this scenario.

This is the board that will be used (Unless someone has a better idea):



So join us now! You can select to join the Light team or the Dark team, however, they should have the same amount of members at the end.

You can also make comments, suggestions, and everything you can think of to make Super Chess better!

Light team:

Earth Luigi-San
Uly

Dark Team:

LizardKing
Koneko

At that rate, you might finish in time for Christmas!

Seriously, although it sounds fun, this is likely going to be boring at the beginning and so slow that people are going to lose interest quickly. I recommend that you find a way to speed things up a bit or something.

Any idea? Maybe it won't need to be a 24 hours lapse, if the members agree on a move within an hour, the move is played already, so it might be fast (Theoretically, 24 half moves per day :O ).

Thing is, not everyone is on the boards all the time or merely just at the same time as others, so some members could hold up deliberations for quite a while. It doesn't really matter how much time we must use - what matters is how much time we can use and how long it'll take to do so. Plus, the members of a team communicating amongst themselves could get awkward.

Two threads will be created for each game (Otherwise it'll be confusing to know which game is being discussed), and the members discuss the move on the same thread, so I am missing the akward part.

Earth Luigi-San has faith in this, and I hope others do too!

How about, only the first three or so PMs (per team) count? That way, it wouldn't require lots of people's activity to continue running. Maybe if it's taking forever, you can just use the move of the first person to respond. You can then safely make the time more limited, because there's a higher chance you'll get enough responses.

Just a thought. I'll join dark team for now.

Ok, only the first votes will count, that means the game will be faster as not all the members are required to vote. Also, I'm adding the option of just voting for a move by bolding it, that way you don't need to PM me.

Also, I want to ask the members if they want to just have 1 game instead of 2, the problem is one team would be in disadvantage because by using the black pieces they'd move second, but maybe it's not a big drawback and may make things simpler.

EDIT - The Game is on!

I just PMed the members so we know who'll be playing with the white pieces and who with the black ones (I think just one game is the best option).

Late-joins will be allowed the whole game, so you can still join. Please join the Light team as it would benefit the game (Because I would be arbiter intead of player).

Just for simplicity's sake, I think the light team should play white if we only play one game.

Also I like playing black. Going first isn't necessarily an advantage.

Two games would be better, but I could live with just one.

Don't forget you are also playing The 2nd Game as well as white, so you might want to move there too



What do you think Luigi, erm, Booigi, should we make the instant c4? or prepare with b3? Do we stop e5 with Nf3? Or do you have a better idea?

It takes too long to talk in PM, if you were wondering why we were taking forever.

Nc6 is the move.

Well, you can discuss the move on the thread so it doesn't look that dead, though I understand you have the advantage if you keep your plans secret while me and Booigi post on the thread (And mainly don't have a plan XD).



I think either d5 or b3 should be our next move, although anything that lets the opponent move e5-e4 would get us in trouble, so maybe d5 is the only move, but I don't like to make it alone, so I'll wait for Booigi, I hope I don't need to PM him (Since he never moved on the 2nd game thread).
