Re: Monero vs Boolberry Chess Challenge and CryptoNote technical discussion
2 votes Re5 (funnyman21, dre1982)
2 votes Nxe2+ (newb4now, TPTB_need_war_)
I was having a hard time deciding between the two above moves, but was leaning towards Nxe2+. I was not in a rush to post my preference because at the time I had not yet seen the TPTB vote. Before he voted, my voting for Nxe2+ would have only led to a tie and not changed the outcome because of our tiebreak rule:
Unfortunately it is now a few minutes past 0:00 UTC so too late for me to vote by our rules.
Current position
Based on the votes in this thread Team Boolberry has chosen to play Re5. Now it is time for Team Monero to respond. I will plan to count votes again tomorrow at approximately 0:00 UTC.

We need a tie breaking mechanism. For example one can look at the result before the vote that led to the tie and use that instead.
