This is a "Policy" market. The "Stake" market is

You can suggest any move here, but in order to vote on a move you need to be holding YES in the stake market.

In order to vote, you should make a comment that says "!VOTE <move>". Only your latest vote counts. I'll randomly select a suggested move, weighted by the number of YES shares in the stake market held by the users who voted for it. The precise evaluation time will be "some point soon after this market closes" but I'm not committing to any particular time.

This market resolves to the chosen move, and that move will be used for the continuation of the game.

"Resign" is a valid move.

Are votes entered after market closed but before evaluation still valid?

@deagol Still valid. Post-close YES buys on the stake market also count.

Did you think something was afoot @jack ? I guess I now know to be careful in the future. A bot would’ve done me in.

@deagol voted Nxg3 (weight 600)

This more subtle one and the other Bh7 I added, avoid one or two of our attacking pieces in the center from getting harassed by the f pawn and/or pinned by the queen, while still keeping up the immense pressure (white can’t really do much about our multiple threats). These two lines constitute what’s known as prophylaxis in chess lingo.

@deagol Bet on this if you wanna sweeten the pot, pay it forward, pay your taxes, or however you wanna call it. I chipped in with half my profits from last move.

!VOTE Nxg3

I'm no chess player but I love how this position works out. The knight clearing the way for the bishop while simultaneously attacking the rook is just so satisfying

@citrinitas The attack is not so much on the rook but on the queen. She’s gone, saving her loses even more material.

Now, we really need to focus on coordinating the following moves. A random sniper can really mess it up for white.

@deagol Qe3 keeps the queen alive, it's the rook threat that makes it a bad move

And voting in blocs or not doesn't change the probability assigned to a rogue vote. Regardless of how the other votes are split, 10% of the shares will win 10% of the time. We could try to dilute the pool but given the @Jack2 limit orders that just creates a bigger problem down the line

@citrinitas as I said, it keeps her alive at the cost of losing even more material. Qe3 loses the rook and then the knight for a knight immediately and we keep our white squares bishop which I’ve mentioned is extremely dangerous given white’s king weaknesses, alone worth more than a rook imo.

Voting in block is required for forced moves, and some of those are coming.

!vote Nxg3

I think we’re ready. Let’s go!
