"Hello World!"

Well I can finally say it happened!! CrowdChess was an idea I conceived almost a year ago and started to seriously think about and work on in March of this year. It took a lot of hard work, dedication, persistence, coffee, love (for this project) and a lot of other things for this idea to become a reality and we are finally here. Using the opportunity I want to say a BIG thank you to my main man, Remy Munch, for doing a helluva job on the programming end. He was able to pull off a lot of miracles and I can't say enough how honored and privileged I am to have him as part of the CrowdChess team! Thanks man, you rock!! So what is CrowdChess? Simply put, CrowdChess is chess played by thousands of people together, against each other simultaneously, creating the ultimate wisdom of the crowds battlefield and with that a platform that pushes the boundaries of human intelligence. Who wins when thousands of people try to outsmart and outmaneuver each other is the ultimate question. It's really easy to get started and best of all, it's free. After registering you will be given access to the play room where you will have the opportunity to introduce new moves for voting by others, vote on already proposed moves yourself, chat with fellow teammates, think in distraction free DeepThink mode and a lot of other great things. Each team will have 1 hour to make a move and a move that got the most number of votes at the end of the 1 hour period will be made and another team will start playing and so forth. To learn more about how everything works please check our FAQ page. A lot of absolutely amazing and fantastic stuff is planned for this project so stay tuned, this is just the beginning! Let the CrowdChess revolution begin... Cheers, Stan
