(copy+pasted from my identical post in CVC) Shoutout to @GymnastLazer829 for the idea of another variants competition! This is a spin-off of The Caramel Crucible, The Variants Gym, and The Variants Challenge. Check those out for some background context. Or not, it doesn't really matter lol. How this works: This challenge will go on for 6 weeks. Every week, you will be given 5 challenges regarding a specific variant (for example, "Win a game of Explosive Magic without using spells"). For each week, you have 156 hours (6.5 days) to complete the listed challenges. Each challenge will have a different point values, and harder challenges (in my own, subjective opinion) will grant more points. You are allowed to opt out of completing a difficult challenge, but then you won't get the points for that challenge. Most points at the end of the 6 weeks wins. The top 3 will each get a slice of digital cake and nothing else --> 🍰🍰🍰. (I'm broke sorry, you're not getting premium for winning.) Also, as a fun twist, this is also going to be a club-to-club competition between CVC and SBV! Not only are you competing to be the best, but also competing to be the club with the higher points-participants ratio! Obviously this is just a chill competition and proves nothing other than who has more time, and the sole purpose is to help everybody spend less time queueing. - Rules: 1) You have to sign up. More information on that later in this post. 2) No using bots and/or alt accounts. Switching on "Teams" is not allowed for FFA variants. 3) No teaming and/or cheating to complete challenges (com'on guys). I strongly recommend playing Casual so your elo doesn't get tanked lol. 4) Games where your opponent resigns/flags/timeouts in an unclear position, it doesn't count. 5) Games with opponents with estimated rating (denoted with a "?" at the end of their elo) of <1600 don't count unless it's a WoF. 6) Paste the URL of the game you completed each challenge with in the comment section to prove you completed it legitimately. - How to sign up: Sign up by commenting your username and saying you'd like to join.(Example: "@2bHNST has a big ego and wants to join") SIGNUPS END APRIL 4th AT 12pm (noon) GMT - Participants: Team CVC: @Chye3mc @VarostTheFlail @BlueYoshi21 @masco13 @MAFAB_Mason @CeadarTar - Team SBV: @CzarnyResorak567 @GymnastLazer829 @yu-x897 @ChocoCaramelPawn @AllenBB314 @MistMint @lecreme-croissant @Nyutixbrother @The-Fiery-Falcon @twbvqc @Firansyah1 @CyanAquaBeetle @coopster8730 @Basilegggg @CrCaTT-S - Quitters: @Rishaan44 @kulfyrfranorge - WEEK 1: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/twobs-terrific-tournament-week-1-april-4-april-10-127317392 WEEK 2: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/twobs-terrific-tournament-week-2-april-11-april-24 WEEK 3: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/twobs-terrific-tournament-week-3-april-18th-april-25th WEEK 4: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/twobs-terrific-tournament-week-3-april-26th-may-2nd

New Variant!



A new variant has been added to Games Playing! It’s called Magic Detonation, created by @ChocoCaramelPawn. This variant combines the most popular gamerule - Atomic, and a very complex rule - Petrified, in one concept. Grabbing pieces isn't that important, but all you need to do is taking control of the center and rush your pawns to build them to a unbreakable structure. Jump spells also introduce a quirky attack! You win by exploding the opponent's Royal off, or reach your royal alibaba to the hill. 


Many variants in Games Playing, such as this one, were created by members of the community and submitted in Variants.Universe! If you want to create your own variant and even potentially have it listed on the server, consider joining the SugarBlossom Variants!


Have a good time!
