Dear Admin and Variant Lovers,

I have a great idea for a variant, but it requires construction/programming that I cannot perform. The variant requires the computer to acknowledge certain positions that are currently not in use under any available configuration of rules and pieces, and so forth. How will I proceed? Do I make anyone curious? The idea itself is not complex, it is really just a simple addition of some of the detective capacities that the engine already possesses. It is called 3MT1, and is a development of 3check, one that I think will benefit strategic and tactic faculties of all players of chess. Please, tell me how to proceed, so I can get to test it. Me and a friend have tested it already IRL, and we thought it was great. However, while playing it over the board, we might have missed something the engine would have detected. 

Yours, Johannes. 

It would probably be best to explain it here so that we understand what it's about (I'm not a developer though)
Also, the state of variants has been in really steep decline recently. A great article on this has been writted by Custom Games Admin @chessmastergs over here.

main ideas:a new rule,3MT1,a development of 3-check.

I wonder what is 3MT1 then we can help you

Hello I agree

how do you make them

I have idea for a piece called “The Marshian pawn” where it takes like a knight but moves one space vertically or horizontally I don’t know how you’d make it but try plz.

how about creating military chess here is an

example

You could try

You can’t lol

You know, I was expecting someone to post a link to workshop/testing thread until I read the first post

I have heard from someone that they want to make rifle chess

but that seems a bit weird

Rifle chess is actually one of the most sensible ideas people have come up with. Basically, instead of moving to the place where you captured a piece, your piece stays in its place

Then white probably wins all the time by merely getting their queen out and shooting down the king

also how do you program variant

chess.com/variants/custom

program is staffs' things.all we can do is use the rules given do something fun or boring.

O.K KingsSacrificingGotta
