”Crowd CrowdChess takes the popular strategy game and turns it into a social experience. Thousands of registered users are gathered into a team to play the side of a single game. Using chat and thinktank features, the gathering of users or "crowd" can suggest and vote upon which move to make next. There are games where one crowd can play against another crowd and then matches where thousands can join together to take on a single Grand Master (Gawain Jones is currently take challenges). Although you'll be part of a mass of players, you will have an individual profile and your rate of success in terms of suggesting moves that the crowd chooses will be kept track of. You'll be able to see who the power users are. Is the wisdom of the crowd better than the individual in chess?
