The idea of all of us playing on huge battle against fritz has been suggested. At the time people said we should wait for the ability to vote. A voting system is in place on RHP now, but its not in the forums. Iv no idea if it will be implmented or not, so im suggesting we give it a try without votes.
Heres how I think it could work, Fritz makes a move. After that people get to post in the forums their moves and back it up with theory/variations. A lot of people might suggest the same move so, I think that if you agree with a move you should rec that post, sort of a simple voting system. After a set time, saying 4-5 days ? The move with the most votes is played. The opening time could be shorted to get the game underway and into the fun stages quicker.
What do you all think ?
Ok iv thought about it a bit. Say in each move period people dont vote at all, just debate and throw around ideas behind suggested moves. Then on the 5th day of "thought time" the candidate moves are listed at the end of the thread and people have the next two days to cast their vote on each move. After two days the move with the most votes wins.
Good idea, bad idea........do I smell ? :-)

If people agree we need someone to use fritz8 or another engine and someone to make the human moves.
Id suggest the following game setup. 14 days move time/timebank. I dont think anyone wants this to be timed out :-)
Opening moves should last say 3 days. 2 days of throwing moves about and a day of rec voting.
After that 5 days of chess debate time and two days of voting for the moves.

Originally posted by tmetzlerI'll happily run fritz unless someone else wants to. We need another volenteer to make the RHP'ers moves. That person would have to make the move voted most popular after the set period.
Grey: I look forward to this.. Set it up....
After that its just a case of getting it going. I think RHP'ers should have white. Probably best if its a known main line opening so everyone can add their thoughts, but I guess thats talk for the game however :-)
The one point I think should be added is that although the game is unrated people dont consult their own fritz about the game. Im sure we will probably coved most of the top fritz moves anyway, but looking at the fritz variations would take all the fun out of the game for us.

Whoever runs Fritz should have at least a Pentium 4, 3.2 GhZ processor, and 1 GB of RAM, or a comparable Athlon.
Originally posted by GrayeyesofsorrowAs I'm around a lot, I'd volunteer to take the Human side in an unrated game. I would obey the wishes of the majority no matter how stupid their moves might be.

Originally posted by GrayeyesofsorrowOK, we're up and running. I vote we open 1 e4 as any other opening is totally unmanly. So if people want 1 e4 they rec this post? And how many days do we take suggestions? Explain the logistics again, Grayeyes.
Sounds good. We'll just iron out problems as they arise.
Originally posted by no1marauderIv started off a thread. I dont think the posts should be rec'ed while debating but should be listed after a set number of days and then rec'd. It should make things easier to follow.
