CR567 Variant Acceptance Probability Sheet

I just wanna inform, that this is just my opinion and it has a good chance at being wrong, and i could place a variant which i think is good in low tier, cause i feel like CGAs won't like it.

Colors:

Dark Green: 80-100%, simply this should get accepted no matter what

Green 50-80% Should be accepted, but there might be some weird issue

Yellow 30-50% Has a decent chance at acception

Orange 10-30% Could get accepted, but i dont think so.

Red 3-10% This can't be good, can it?

Dark Red 0-3% Even today it's an autodecline.

Variant	Reason	Status
Zombies on Your Lawn	Even without the bug, this just doesn't fit today's standards.	D
Rowhouse	Might have some issues like first move advantage or drawishness.	D
Sharp Incantation	First-move advantage is big, yet sharpness might lower it in practice.	D
Charybdis	PR or not PR this will get accepted in some way.	A
Domino Dynamite	There are PR ideas, but the game is short and random.	D
Finality Splendid	A complex NCV which should have long time control, a lot of unique tactics. (lowered cause a revision came out)	D
Self-Destruction	If not as an NCV, then it will be accepted as a WoF. (now it's a WoF)	A
Sergeant Dodo	No issues, it will probably end up in WoF section on server.	A
Limited Life	Good variant, but it might be too linear	D
Trench War	Definitely not NCV, but it might be a good WoF	A
Solacean Solitude	I thought is was too similar to other variants, however it has a lot of fun tactics and the piece choice and 4-check make it unique (lowered cause there are -1s)	D
A Fair Maiden	idk	D
Hilly Golden Rain	Really sharp, and opening could be too forced	A
Wild	Blue has a forced win, but who cares, also there are some "Wild142" ideas	D
Inheritance	Why is yellow a queen up	D
Torpedoes in a Lake	Games are short, in addition pieces rarely get moved	D
Phoenix	Really dull and drawish, with GoP it's still dull	D
Tsunami	A cool sequel to Saturn's Rings, some parts of the gameplay however feel generic, in addition to the fact that knightrider check can be threatened	D
Riptide	Very good, but might be drawish (it's not drawish)	A
Fast Delivery	It's a very good concept, however needs better execution.	D
Fuerzas Desiguales	Good take on Upgraded Chess, but there are speculations that white is better, tho black can fight back	D
Suprising Key	"Likely solvable" Also, GoP destroys sacrifice ideas	D
Contradictory Exchange	One side might have a positional advantage	D
Mini Chaturaji	It's a WoF after all	D
Ambitions	While it's not bad, it's incredibly generic.	D
Sour Apple	Way too luck-based	D
Bare Lion	Decent, but worse than Sergeant Dodo	D
Collision Course	An actually enjoyable Giveaway
Ocean's Chaos		D
///Execution///		D
Serendipity	Why not? Even though i think the board is a mess, this might be fun if you master the gameplay	A
Iron Curtain	Decent, but might be too sharp	D
Pac-Chess 2.0	This is actually good, but i feel that CGAs won't like it	D
Silent Spring	Uh.. how did i miss that?	D
Segue III	Why the 3 generals...	D
Imaginary Town		D
Redeployment	Amazing imbalance, but it might be someway drawish, and it might not be balanced	D
Strength	Minihouse 2.0, there exist quick draw lines however it shouldn't be a big problem	SD
The Immortal Knight	Very enjoyable, tho i'm concerned about one side advantage	/ban
The Wazir Snake	Might be too linear	D
The Dream ISLAND	Seems decent, but pieces seem random	D
Fading Starlight	Way better that Incisive Strike
Sergeant's Game	Shufflefest, slowfest, drawishfest, and worse-than-delta's-campmate-fest	D
Vanished Mystery	Great take on Pocket Duck Chess!	D
Tape/Stop/Night	Great take on Small Chess concept!	RNM
A Small Scuffle	Rook and rook promo are overpowered	D
Willows	Setup could have some strat better than others, but it's a good take on S-P Racing Kings
Unmirroring	Just a pawn game, not bad tho	D
Zodiac	draw draw draw	D
Equilibrium	The games are very short, having ferzes in the corner is overpowered, and gameplay overally feels too linear
Rekindled		D
Dingy Soil	A cool quick game to play, but is it NCV material?	D
Clothing	The only issue i see is that there might be some overpowered strat, also CGAs are undecided	A
CSC 1: Triangle Chess	Why the promo? Why the position? KINGMAKING	D
Of the Lord	Could be executed MUCH better	D
Cursed Sculptures	Maybe as a WoF? Forced opening is an issue
Villagers Atomic	Royal rook is perfect!	/ban
Helios	The game is brilliant, but i'm concerned about 50/50s	SD
Yakuhana (both)	Seems like too much shuffling	SD
Crystal Cave	WHY THE QRBN	D
The Junkyard	Very good 4P imbalance!	D
Chicken Hockey	Decent, but might have issues.	D
Channeling		D
Nuclear Bunker		D
Once Upon a Time	No piece synergy	D
Battle of the Directions	Decent, but as every setup might have overpowered strat	D
Cacti Canyon	Pieces are really random	D
Versatility	Brilliant revision, issues are countered	A
Exploring the Ocean	This is a fog which is not too random, but still	D
Rift Valley	Problem is, that generals are much stonger than other pieces, and trading them makes the position more drawish	D
Lone Settlement		D
Prometheus's Fire	icp submission by not icp (except no queen)	D
Tian Shan Lan		D
Escaping Royal		D
Frosted Fjord	Cool, but too sharp	D
Segue IV	Because of the random asymmetry (why is it here) yellow can defend the hill much easier with alibaba	D
Sharks and Minnows	Oversized, and why the 50-check	D
Lobotomy 8X	Great, but 50/50 and complexity concerns
Spinner Clog		D
Squid Coast	sorry, gotta test it	D
The Nether Fortress	Why red has an amazon	D
Full Control	Voting it going good for it	A
Fun Halls	Might be too generic when bot disappears	D
RooKing	Definitely not NCV, and might be forced, and even though creator told me about the bot purpose, issues still remain.	D
Duck Party		D
Stopwatch	Revision fixes all issues, and makea all th good parts even better.	A
The Phantom's Conquest	A classic Chicken submission, very fun to play (oh... a non-classic ban :/)	/ban
The Broken Mirror	Why so many undecided ones are KSG's variants?	D
Creepy Crypt		D
Cornered	Very cool, i'm just concerned that CGAs will call it too complex	A
Solstice	ADDICTIVE, but the problem is that Sacred Royal rule is working in a bad way, this is if a checking piece is unfrozen the next turn, it still won't count it as a check, allowing the king to be captured. If it did the gameplay would be much longer and balanced.
Frozen Lake	While the concept is fun, the gameplay not really. Rooks would be nice, and entire variant needs better balancing.	D
Ilusión	ADDICTIVE, but there might be some weird issue, and Mist is revising it, try R vs G (now looking at it it's not a good idea)
Combination Attack
The Soldier's Dream	Cool idea, however luck plays a big role	D
Rosicrucian Wizza Beasts	Upgraded Chess: Ep. 771	D
pati	what	D
Melanie's Game	pawn game goooo brrrrrrrr, but very fun to play
The Defenestrator's Council		D
THE TRIFORCE	A classic: Randomly attacking bot	D
Ali baba & 40 thieves		D
Lifeline	piece spam (okay, not a piece spam but i can't see this as an NCV)
River crossers	a better piece spam (okay, this is a piece spam indeed and not better)	D
Vesper	Luck game about who gets the task faster	D
Pac Chess 3.0	Better than 2.0	D
Misery inside	Decent, but sadly bugged
Tiny Torpedoes	I don't think it will get accepted, might have too low depth
The Frozen Lake	The Lake+Final Bastion+Spells, classic Chicken	/ban
Lemon(ade)	Just weird	D
Uncertainties	Imbalance Giveaway is probably, well, imbalanced.	D
Consellation
The Atlantis
Soldier's Checkers	Another pawn game, but nicely made	/ban
Unfinished Army	Random position with white having better placed archbishop	D
Stampede	An intersting concept, but this is just a tradefest, and variants like Pac-Chess 3.0 implement it way better	D
Your Name,Please?		D
The Black Lagoon	It's a tradefest, misght be drawish, see https://variants.world/posts/1514	D
Imposter		D
The Lake But Nerfed		SD
Blast Processing	A very well-made 4P atomic, however a noob might destroy the game much more severely than in other 4P variants	D
Spinner Clog		D
Race To The Middle	Doesn't add much to already existing variants, it's a tradefest	D
Electromagnetism	Very cool innovative concept, 45sec would be perfect for a submission of this type, there might be some unknown issues though	A
Énoncé		D
Ambivalent	-1000000 -ChessMasterGS
Tiny Sculptures	Might be way too confusing as despite playing lots of games, i was still taking a minute to realise why did the game end (it was a wild stalemate)
Chilly Hilly Jungle	Feels too learny, but testers seem to like it
DucKing	I love the piece palette
Pawn's Battle	Decent as a first submission, but likely solvable	\ban
Horse Race	Excellent variant, however likely solvable
The Evil Weevil	...	D
Icy Holiday	Well, i'm very happy that the creator improves his variants, it's a good variant however there might be some issues	D
Flames of The Forest	Green has a big positional advantage	D
Pawn Strategies	Too generic
Little Star
Le Quatorzième Carré	Sergeant too op, likely solvable	D
Mini Lake	Likely solvable	D
Reunification	Seems like a good revision of a good variant
Xerophyte		D
Mini Xerophyte		D
Four Pawns	Seems generic, but maybe not	D
Horse And Buggy	Good, but likely solvable
𝓓𝓸𝓭𝓸	cool
Self-Stalemate		D
Pond Hoppers
しののめ		D
Wild	Ok now it should just get autoaccepted	/ban
Golden Island
Prometheus's Fire	qwality stuff
The Big Lake	Doesn't add anything to the original Lake	D
Chillagers Chess	Very fun	/ban
Minihouse II	Very random position, very generic	D
ALMOST	Fun to play, could have some op strats tho	RNM
Abysmal Depths
Ravagers Chess	The bug patch came in the worst possible moment...
Torpedoes in a Lake	seems good
Golems Chess	A lot of people i played seemed to enjoy it
Clear-Out	Too luck-based, and there are quick attacks
Lake BieN	A good variant, more balanced than the original Lake, tho i would like to see a revision with a hill
Mini Grasshopper Arena	Testers concluded it's drawishness, but maybe a WoF
Basketball Chess	Most likely fwfr
Explosive Path	It needs less kings
Frozen Lake	Excellent revision, it's very fun and tactical in it's simplicity
Pawns On The Hill V	Very fun and addictive, but there are concerns of blue's advantage
Symphonies	Nice revision but idk
Limited Life	All i could say about this variant would just be glazing it so i'll leave it as it is
Xerophyte IV	Seems highly generic
Ilusión	I can't tell which of the Ilusións is better, but the balancing element being 9th=X is not existent here, but the position is adding complexity to the variant
Ilusión Christmas	Sorry for my bad tip on revising, i completely forgot that the balancing element can't exist here, and there is less gameplay and balance
Magic Detonation	Fun but idk
Da Firewall	Fun but idk
Escaped Royal
Demolish The Village	This is amazing but voting is going badly for it
Hoppy Jungle	There are some attacking ideas for red which might be an issue, but overall simple and fun
Tape/Stop/Night	8th=K is too op, 9th=K revision seems better, but it's quite fun to play
Stretch	Amazing as a first sumbission, however i think it needs more polishing and removal of 1st move attacks
Underhalls
Break-in	Too many pieces
J-Chess	This one feels quite random, and needs polishing
Capture/Lure/Deflect	afaik it has a forced win but if it doesn't i'll reevaluate
Boomhive

where do you play the variants????

They are variants which don't have a verdict yet, see them with Under Review filter on variants.world.

oh

Finality Splendid is most probably red due to shuffling problems and a generic position (the position is very similar to acheron, leapers, etc.)

Wait what?

Where is Squiddy Coast

Where is RooKing?

"This is actually good, but i feel that CGAs won't like it"

LOL

Whoa.

I like Tsunami

imagine you have a bunch of variants like Tape/Stop/Night and Zodiac for one creator,especially when good variants are just a random idea and bad ones tested a lot of times.

What does Kingmaking even mean bro. On the variant "CSC1:Triangle Chess", you mentioned Kingmaking. What does that even mean. I'm pretty sure I didn't set promotion to king, so I'm not sure how it's possible to make "extra kings".

King making simply means it's a forced draw where you just have to move your king to stalement them;this case,this is a "kingmaking" game because once one eliminated,the two left teams can only shuffle with no more progress to make.

It means once you trade off pieces and one of your opponents has resigned, it is just a forced draw. For example, you cannot easily mate with a rook in your variant, and once promoted queens are traded off, you have to shuffle because nobody can mate each other.

Also please don't be that angry/sad when your variants get red/dark red. A lot of people who have red variants simply improve over time as they learn. I used to make "red" variants (a lot of sheets like this existed back in the day) and over time I improved to make good variants 😀

I'm not mad bro, just asking, but thanks for the info.
