Is there a possibility to send my created custom variant to admins for consideration? Is there a way to alert them?

Avatar of My_eraser_is_wise

I was also wondering the same thing... You could look up there email or other contact info outside of chess.com. Other than that, though, I don't know how to contact them myself. I can help you ask around though.

also in 4pc if you try to promote to a wall or another pawn it doesn't work

yeah you cant promote to a pawn but I think you can promote to a brick

High all, while working on my personal chess engine today, I thought up a new variant idea: https://github.com/Phillyclause89/Flanking-Zone-Field-of-Battle-FZFOB-Chess

Avatar of My_eraser_is_wise

can you make it on chess.com?

My_eraser_is_wise, At this time my main priority is development on my personal chess engine. Thus all I can do with my FZFOB Chess idea is draft an open source rule set for the variant idea, publish it to GitHub and see if the idea sparks any interest from someone wanting to take the idea farther than a rulebook.

What if we made one where you get to choose two more pieces that can jump pieces like knights. or what if you could promote to a cannon pawn that can kill a whole rank but kills itself when it does

Racing Kings Race your King to the eighth rank to win.
Rules

In this game, checks are entirely forbidden: not only is it forbidden to move one's king into check, but it is also forbidden to check the opponent's king.

The purpose of the game is to be the first player to move their king to the eighth row. When White moves their king to the eighth row, and Black, immediately on the next move, moves their king to the eighth rank, the game is declared a draw (this rule is to compensate for White's first-move advantage).

Apart from the above, pieces move and capture exactly as in normal chess.
