Hello everyone. So we're all in the chess.com club now, and we're starting our first vote chess matches.

In order to find them, on your computer:
1. Access the club. Hover over "Connect" on the left-side menu, and the Victoria Robbins Chess Club should pop up. If it doesn't, you can click "Clubs" and it'll lead you to this page, where you can find your clubs. Victoria Robbins Chess Club will be there. You can also find the vote chess matches from that same link.
2. Click Vote Chess on the right-side menu. Once you access the club, there should be a button on the right-side that says "Vote Chess." Click it, and it should lead you to this page.
3. Click the games to access them and participate. Once you click on one of the games, it'll lead you to the vote chess match. There, you will see a join button and then you can vote, and chat.

Scroll down to look at the chat. There's a chat for the team (us), a public chat for everyone (us + the other club), and the archive (this is to read old chat messages). We'll be using the team chat to discuss our moves. And all discussions will be held there. The chat is cleared (and archived) after each move, so if we had a plan, someone should repost it (either me or someone else can as well). Remember you can access the old chat messages through the archive.

We're currently playing 2 vote-chess games. A 3-day and a 2-day per move. Always use the first day to discuss, don't vote without reading what others have to say! So after the first 24 hours pass, you should make your vote with the insight of the fellow members.

Right now, we're at the opening, so there are many moves we can do, so write them down in the chat, if we agree to do a certain opening, we'll do that, if not, remember that this is a voting system so the majority will win. The reason why we're gonna vote during the first 24h is to discuss the moves suggested, and make sure we're not making a mistake. So if you see a move someone suggested that doesn't work, explain why so we don't vote for a bad move.

TL;DR: Click here, join the vote chess matches, use the first 24h of every game to discuss our moves in the team chat. DO NOT vote during the first 24h, read the team chat. Use the team chat, and communicate.

If you have any questions or wanna share anything, you can create a forum post, or reach out to me directly on Chess.com (click on my profile and click message).
