My NCV Sortable Spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jm_yhwvwY_QKZUf-dTc8AhkKrjotccbvsIZRbXnfz14/edit?gid=0#gid=0

The link above is a Google Sheet that I have created that includes all currently accepted NCVs on chess.com. It will be consistently updated shortly upon the acceptance of any new NCVs. It includes:

-Variant names and authors

-Player/zombie counts

-Links to each individual variant

-All applicable rules for every variant

-Instructions to make a personal copy and sort the variant data

Now you might be wondering, "Why did he take so much time to do this? And why?"

I made this because I was scrolling through the Variants page one day and I was like, "These variants are so cool... but it must take a long time to get to know them". So I made this to make knowing the rules of variants more efficient, rather than having to scroll through the Variants page and select each game mode individually to learn more about its rules.

As for why I spent so much time...

Because I could.

Hopefully, this can enhance your Variants experience by allowing you to find new variants (if any!) and can help newer players find variants that they like.

It also helps me personally with knowing which variants are 2-player and which are 4-player.

...Enjoy.

Must have been a major source 😂

Yes indeed lol

This should be pinned

he finally updated it lezgo

Done. Also, there’s some brand new stuff on the sheet that I hope someone spotted.

BN: Spectator Chat can't be used in an official variant submission.

Me who puts Spec Chat in every one of my submissions: *side eye teddy*

Spec chat I think is the only one that's really fine because when we set it to rated it automatically deletes that gamerule. Otherwise it becomes annoying when there's completely useless gamerules like checkers or blindfold

Added the newest variant.

Underground War has a hill and Acheron has torpedo.

initiate in the action concerning the recorrection of information to the current standard.

Yeah I’m aware
