A system for annotating games will be available in the next couple of months anyway, so this will probably not be required.

will it work on just CC games?

Just the CC games. (at least initially, anyway.)

By putting their name at the beginning, any variations they add could be played out interdependently of other users comments} {Russ: Other users could simply add another set of brackets after the original one to comment on the previous comment, over time each move could be discussed as the viewer reaches it...}

This way people could simply copy and paste from previous posters, adding or subtracting thoughts or variations. If someone adds a variation, then perhaps a drop down menu could be used so people can play through the variation using the same board. Obviously if two people add a variation starting from the same move, then there are simply two variations listed from the drop down menu... 🙂
