Gamerules: Alt Teams (RB vs YG), Pawns promote on the 11th rank, Pawns promote to an Amazon or Wildebeest.

Time control: ¼|25D

Description:

This is one of my ancient variant ideas, which I managed to implement only in the past month. The intention behind the variant was to create an asymmetric teams variant with entirely different game goals for each team.

Interesting. I kind of like it.

What do you rate this position? On a scale of 1-5?

This is so true

One of the most well-made, strange, interesting, and unique position I've seen.

Asymmetry is a great way to design an NCP, and @bsrti said that this is a way for the two teams to have their own goals.

It’s like horde chess in that sense: if black allows too much time for white to reinforce his pawns, then he may lose. Same goes for this position, red and blue cannot turtle

What do you mean by Black and White? Yellow and Green?

White = YG, Black = RB

I think RB should be White, and YG should be Black.

And I think BG should be While, and RY should be Black.
