Extra Scoring System

[Andrew McHarg]

It is almost certainly impractical but I mentioned live boards because the only way to make it work would be to automate the judging process, using the silicon beast to determine what each player scores based on how much they have improved their position or how accurately they have played the end game? This could be done in real time and made available to on-line viewers?

Sure it's possible. I like the idea, just need to have a good chat about how it would actually work and what the implications would be for players on non-live boards.

Another motivation is that if you play well in 90% of the game you can blow it with one dumb move and you get no credit for that first 90%.

That's Chess unfortunately! ;P
