Greetings Lichess community, I would like to propose the idea of adding another variant to Lichess, Vote Chess!
For everyone is not familiar with this variant, the name is self explanatory. A position will be presented, and the Lichess community will vote on a move that should be played. It is sort of like a chess correspondence game with multiple players.
The position could be a starting position, a middle game, endgame position, etc. An example could be: Bishop vs. Knight endgame, White to play. The players will simply move as if it is a normal game and press a vote confirmation button. After a specific time period, the move with the highest # of votes is played and the players can vote moves for the opposite side.
We may even be able to get a very strong player, and play against him/her through vote chess (ex. Lichess Community vs. Eric Hansen, Chessbrah). Or play variant vote chess!
Also, to eliminate cheaters/trolls who multi account, there could be a restriction that players must have an x amount of games played in order to part take in these events.
In conclusion, I really would love for Lichess to implement this variant, since this is the only variant that Lichess does not have that Chess.com has. I am in no means advertising Chess.com, and I believe Lichess is far superior to any chess site.
Please show your support if you are interested, and comment your ideas about this potentially enhancing feature.
