✗ NCV ︱ Complete Seirawan Chess

I don't think this will get accepted, but it is a great variant on the Seirawan.

my guy you literally copied gothic chess and swapped the position of king and elephant 💀

bro have you ever heard of gothic chess? It's bad anywways

Strangely enough, the original description of Carrera’s new chess reads more like a theory of what may be playable on a 10x8 board than legislation of what to play on a 10x8 board. Although interesting, Carrera’s definitions of the Centauro and Campione make an inferior variant from the position he gives, not in the least because it makes them feel like they are just in the game to complicate getting the King to safety, especially if it did not leap under the Sicilian rules. Don’t you think that if in Japan and Mongolia they already knew the “shogi” pieces Rook+King and Bishop+King independently as far as we understand, perhaps they already knew them independently elsewhere in the Old World too?

I did it to compensate for Gothic Chess having less perfect symmetry than Chess (100% mirror, 60 vs. 75% rotational).

I mean... you just admitted to intentionally copying another variant, and it's barely any different

this is getting autodeclined

If you want to go there, Gothic Chess is technically “copied” off of another variant, and it's barely any different if you pick the correct one (i. e. Bird’s chess). You just admitted to potentially wanting to subvert the entire chess.com variant subproject piece by piece because the tools for aiding it aren’t flexible enough. 

Let me clarify: we have a rule against copying positions already listed in the variants server, like Gothic Chess. I have no idea what Bird's chess is, but it's not listed on chess.com. Gothic chess is based off of Capablanca Chess, which is fine because we don't also have Capablanca chess. Why would we list two positions that are essentially the same? That's absurd, and we've autodeclined on similarity grounds for much less similar variants in the past.

Also, the second sentence of your post makes literally no sense lmao

It’s actually Embassy chess (Grand Chess adapted to a 10x8 board, but incomplete even for that). Neither position already exists on the server. My second try of this variant was literally adding Generals off the board to Gothic Chess, which is technically acceptable, but in my defense, I found the variation too subtle to submit for testing.

I don't care what you call it lol it's literally 1 change from gothic chess

I jumped the gun on this anyway, I like the Hawk enough more than Elephant that I should just change the board to 11x8 to make room for a second one and then re-submit it.
