4 for 5.dxc6
1 for 5.exf3
New Rule Debate : The new rule basiclly works like this.
1. If one vote is winning by a lot , shouldn't it be obviuos that that vote will win . That's why if one vote ever is winning by 8 or more , points any time , it will automaticlly be played , if i'm not there but someone else voted and it went down to 7 , it will still be played.
2. That's why I need to be precise in my voting records.
3. I need people to correct me , one mistake can bore the whole game.
4. Some people will probably be against the rule and some might not hencefore , you can vote for the rule . If 5 or more votes are recieved for the rule , the rule will be added to the rest of the rules . That will make our voting system very organised and progressive .
20 hours + 10 minutes left until 5.dxc6 is going to be submitted to CHESS.
If I make a mistake in the timing , please don't correct me as it is only used for understanding how long left , but it really doesn't matter.
And by the way , this thread is going really well . We're only in our 5th move and have loads of posts . Hope we can at least reach 5000 before the game ends .
Assistants : If any of you would like to volunteer for helping this game (counting votes,making sure I post the vote ammounts properly,etc. please PM me) becuase as more posts are coming in , things are getting more and more confusing and I would really like some help.

eg re1 (4)
rather than just re1...
makes your life easy!
It would be even better if you guys posted the voting progress every time you posted . That would make life 10 times easier , although it takes a lot of effort.And by the way , could anoyne give me a link to the IronMan vs. RHP game or the name of the thread and forum , I really want to take a look.
It always depends SEVES , sometimes voting happens more frequently and sometimes voting happens , like never , but it's very unpredictable . I won't really cancel the game becuase many people are joining it so the chances seem low , if you agree to the new rule , I recommend you vote for it , can anyone please tell me where the IronMan31 vs. RHP game is happening on ? I really wanna join it .

Sorry , Mike but you just can't change one's vote . Other people have their own reasons and you have your own so we judge the correct move by minority and majority , otherwise there would be a massacre of arguments flowing around RHP , which I don't think Russ would be pleased with . 5. exf3 may sound good but practiclly , we get more control over the center with 5.dxc6 , sorry Mike but that's the way it is.
18 hours + 35 minutes remaining before move , 5.dxc6 is submitted to CHESS.
Originally posted by MikeXx2020MCO gives, as footnote b, 5. exf3 Qxd5 6. Be3 0-0-0 7. Nc3 Qa5 8. Bb5 Nxd4 9. Bxd4 e5 with the assessment that black is on top. We want white on top. Based on what the book says I think that gxf3 is the only serious alternative to cxd5.
why you all voting for dxc6? read my post... I think exf3 is much better
The lead in voting rule isn't a bad idea, but there's problems; but you need to take into account the number of people involved in the thread at any one time, also, what if a move gets 8 ahead and then the alternative gets 8 votes. What they used to do with the Ironman games was to have a seperate voting thread, I don't think that's neccessary yet, but we may have problems with the volume of debate when we get out of the db/book lines.
