Introducing MoleChess, where playing badly is often the best move

This sounds fun. Great twist in team vote chess.

I checked the website. But I couldn't figure out what to do. Probably there are no players at the moment.

By the way, is there a way to play vote chess (without moles) like on lichess or elsewhere?

It's a pretty new thing, so there's not many players yet. Occasionally a well known twitch streamer or two will try it out and then there's people on the server for a bit. Probably the best way to organize a game is via the discord link on the site (and in this blog). I'll also try to add more current help files and more in-depth tutorials as it develops.

As far as regular "vote chess", this could be used for that as well if I added an option to not assign anyone the "mole" role. Not a bad idea!

Thanks,

Yes, vote chess without mole option would be great! In slower games, discussions among team before deciding on a move / voting used to be fun on FICS.

This blog post is very useful. I thought MoleChess was a Belgian Law forbidding Street Musicians from playing off-key.

that's interesting. I used to play a mobile moba game like dota2 with my friend like this mole. We played non-ranked game and one of us is the mole, aiming to loose the game. If we loose and vote the wrong mole, the mole wins. Other situations the mole looses. So the mole has to play badly "accidently". It's so much fun than the normal game.
