I will try to keep this simple.

Vote chess is a TEAM game. Weaker players can learn from stronger players and often weaker players see things that stronger players miss. Keeping that in mind we will have two simple guidelines for winning at vote chess.

Do not vote early. We want to discuss possible moves for the first day or two and then vote AFTER the clock is on 24 hours or less.

And the second guideline supports the first. Do not vote for any move not mentioned in the comments/discussion. If a move is good enough to get your vote consideration, then tell the rest of us what you like. We might see something wrong with it and point that out, or we might love it and vote for it.

As for the first two or three moves, because openings are so well established and well known, the guidelines don't fit those first two or three moves.

So don't worry about voting early for the first two or three game moves.

Stagecoach for the win!
