We will play a communal chess game according to these rules: Each user account is allowed to play one move of the game, can be black or white. To make a move, make a trade, and then comment using PGN notation what the move is. I will use https://www.apronus.com/chess/pgnviewer/ to validate moves. Invalid ones are ignored. I will periodically post the valid moves so far, for everyone's convenience, so they can be pasted into the link above to view. *Cheating* One problem is that someone could make a trade and then back fill a comment AFTER someone has made a move. I don't like that as an allowed thing, so if someone did that, call it out and I will check the timestamps in the JSON and make a judgement. But please don't do that to save everyone time! *Resolution* White Wins = YES Black Wins = NO Stalemate/Draw = NA Neutral trades (buy and immediately sell) to make a move a welcome are welcome Mar 4, 9:10pm: i will use an engine to make a move when no move has been made for 12h, idea from @Gurkenglas Mar 5, 9:45pm: To encourage the game flow, including collisions, I am going to change the rules: **** From now anyone can play any number of moves in this game BUT one account cannot make 2 consecutive moves. ****

I think the rule changes might have significantly changed the likelihoods (compared to not having changed the rules), which might decrease trust that future markets by the same creator are resolved according to the initial description. I'm not saying this means the rule changes were certainly bad overall, but it seems like a potentially significant consideration. (That said, personally I did not have a stake in this market.)
Buying some more yes because I don't know why I only put in $15 on a sure thing. (Though there's of course some chance I made a mistake in my analysis of the moves and white didn't actually just checkmate.)
A lot of chaos here (14... Ne7, for example, was underspecified because two knights could move to e7), but I believe white has just checkmated black. 1. e4 f5 2. Qh5+ g6 3. Qxg6+ hxg6 4. Ke2 Rxh2 5. Kf3 a6 6. Bc4 e6 7. Nh3 a5 8. a4 Nf6 9. Bd5 Ra7 10. Ng5 Ra8 11. Bxe6 Ra7 12. Ra2 Nc6 13. Ra1 Nd5 14. Ra2 Nc3 15. Ra1 Ne7 16. Bf7# Even though it was very chaotic, this was a cool market!
Collaboration is hard too! You wouldn't have retrieved your shirt, there, if that had merely taken one whale.

LOL - I am leaving to sleep. The money is there for whoever validates the moves, and remember if the invalid move causes 2 valid moves to be done by the same person the 2nds move is invalid by virtue of the other rule. Good luck figuring this shit out. I ill run it all in 12 hours time!

Kd7 - illegal (white to play and pawn in way), Bd5 (good), Ke8 (illegal) c2 (illegal) Bd7 (illegal) Bf7(illegal) Now: 1. e4 f5 2. Qh5+ g6 3. Qxg6+ hxg6 4. Ke2 Rxh2 5. Kf3 a6 6. Bc4 e6 7. Nh3 a5 8. a4 Nf6 9. Bd5 *

I am checking but I think most of them from Kd7 are not legal ....
