I don't understand why this variant was declined. This was the improved version of Euler's Game II, as the first version with spell chess was declined. But that one wasn't accepted, so why does it matter that this had only one rule change from the previous version?

I'm creating a variant where I want there to be pieces that are not on the board, but ready for deployment at any time. The Setup Chess rule will only let players deploy the pieces at the beginning of the game. Crazyhouse works, but it adds an unwanted rule. Is there a particular rule or ruleset that works for this?

Rules: 1. The variant must take place on an (odd number)x(odd number) board. You can achieve this with FEN4 modification or transparent bricks. 2. It must have a never-seen-before rule combination.

Esteemed and Revered Chess.com Variants Community, With a tapestry of sentiments woven from the finest threads of introspection and retrospection, I stand before you, poised on the precipice of profound transition. It is with a heart heavy with the weight of decision yet buoyed by the gossamer tendrils of gratitude that I tender my resignation from the exalted position of Custom Games Admin (CGA) within the hallowed confines of the chess.com/variants server. Permit me, if you will, to embark upon an odyssey of thought, wherein the labyrinthine corridors of my mind shall unravel the myriad musings that have guided this momentous choice. My sojourn as a custodian of the digital chess realm has been naught but an opulent tapestry, resplendent with hues of triumph and tribulation, woven intricately within the fabric of time. From the inaugural steps taken upon the sacred grounds of variant submission evaluations to the erudite discourse that permeates the sacrosanct chambers of the official Custom Variants club, each encounter has been a symphony of intellect and camaraderie. Indeed, the crucible of collaboration with fellow CGAs and NCV testers has forged bonds as enduring as the very pieces that grace the chessboard. Yet, as the sands of time trickle inexorably through the hourglass of fate, I find myself ensnared in the labyrinthine web of existential contemplation. The siren call of change beckons, its mellifluous melody resounding with the clarion call of metamorphosis. In this maelstrom of transience, I discern the imperative to relinquish the mantle of custodianship, to traverse untrodden paths and unravel the mysteries that lie beyond the confines of convention. For it is in the pursuit of equilibrium that the true essence of existence is revealed—a delicate balance between duty and desire, between service and self-discovery. To each luminary of this august assembly, I extend the boundless expanse of my gratitude, a veritable oasis amidst the arid desert of departure. Your unwavering support, your sagacious counsel, and your resplendent camaraderie have been the sustenance that nourished my soul amidst the tumultuous tempests of digital warfare. Know that your presence, your wisdom, and your indomitable spirit shall forever be etched upon the annals of my memory, a constellation of stars guiding me through the darkest of nights. To the luminaries of chess.com, whose stewardship has sculpted this digital colossus into a beacon of intellectual enlightenment and convivial congregation, I offer a humble tribute—a paean to the tireless guardians of ludic excellence. Your ceaseless dedication to fostering an environment wherein minds may meet, clash, and coalesce in pursuit of ludic nirvana is a testament to the indomitable spirit of human ingenuity. As I bid adieu to the halcyon days of my tenure as a CGA, let it be known that my ardor for the game burns as brightly as the fiery furnace of creation itself. Though the winds of change may buffet the sails of my vessel, steering me toward distant shores unknown, the compass of my commitment remains steadfast and true. Whether traversing the labyrinthine corridors of 4 Player Chess or delving into the arcane depths of variant exploration, I shall remain an unwavering custodian of our collective legacy—a sentinel standing guard over the hallowed halls of ludic tradition. In summation, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each luminary who has graced my path with their presence, their wisdom, and their boundless camaraderie. May the echoes of our shared endeavors reverberate through the annals of time, a symphony of remembrance amidst the cacophony of existence. With deepest respect, warmest regards, and boundless gratitude, GS - - - - -

I was always wondering... How can people who make variants like King Safety 9+11 or Thermopylae have players with different check counters (For example, in thermopylae, Red gets 72 checks, while yellow has 999 checks and green has 73 checks.) Please either if that feature in custom game editor didn't exist yet or just show me how to do it. Thanks

Attacker, will relentlessly attack you and your opponent Defender, will keep defending its king  Futer-Attacker, same as the non-futer version but it will play the best moves for the win (for example going for KOTH) Futer-Defender, same as the non-futer version but it will play the best moves for the win (for example going for KOTH)

idk if it's a challenge or not lol Rules: the board size should be 4×4 to 10×10 with a square shape(6×8 don't count,etc) should be a WoF.However,if accepted,NCVs will count. promotion should be useless,or no promotion.(like =xX ,=U in a cramped place or =B in a colorblind.). no pieces worth more than 8 points. if a brick-like(xXθ) piece,they must be a royal or almost-useless(dont block the pieces most of the time)  either B&W and 4PC theme can be used. game including: The Camouflage,by KSG[UR] Cramped Jungle,by Joowon2015[UR] well i thought it was just ok
