The major distinction between Daily Chess (including Vote Chess) and Live Chess In Daily Chess, which include Vote Chess and you own daily games, you can use outside help on chess.com. That's not true for Live Chess where absolutely no help is allowed. The Daily Chess label refers to turn-based games with several days per move. You can see daily chess as a good way to learn and improve... and live chess as a good way to see if you have actually improved. Read the chess.com policy regarding these rules: https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444879-fair-play-on-chess-com-what-you-need-know-boot Three examples of what you can do in Daily and Vote Chess To illustrate the possibilities of Daily Chess, I give you three examples of what you can do in Vote Chess and in your own daily games (click on the links to see them). They are taken from the comments of the Vote Chess games completed by two strong teams. All strong teams use this type of help in their vote chess games. You can consult databases for opening moves, that of chess.com for example https://www.chess.com/votechess/game/111076?mv=4&san=Nf3&activePagination=archive You can consult the reference books https://www.chess.com/votechess/game/110208?mv=5&san=cxd5&activePagination=archive You can check the chess games that have been played by the masters https://www.chess.com/votechess/game/110208?mv=1&san=c6&activePagination=archive Of course, you can never use the help of a chess engine or a strong player who is not part of your vote chess team. If a strong player is on your team and has time to explain, this is one of the best ways to learn. The importance of having some rules for the team Another important aspect of Vote Chess is to have some guidelines regarding the expected behavior of the troop. For example, many strong teams in vote chess use the following rules: Always vote for a move that has been discussed; Never vote until the clock reaches the 24-hour mark; If you have an idea for a move, please discuss it with the team; If you can, use a diagram to illustrate your idea; Don't be shy to ask questions... it's a team work and learning where the exchange allows everyone to improve regardless of the strength of each player.
