Notes:

In the bottom ones, for some reason it shows a pawn promoting to a camel (I believe they promoted to general) and then making illegal camel moves (which is why I believe they promoted to generals). I believe that this is because of the "Spell Chess" update, and somehow caused old games to go haywire. It really doesn't matter now, because the past is the past.

Stalemate = draw

9th = CMNORΘ

N-check = off

Setup material = 0

No other rules

Cool

Just straight off the bat, are you sure that this is an NCV?

i remember playing this...

Please elaborate.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't understand what you mean by that.

Ah, I see.

Is it just me or WoF: 2 players 5 squares has exactly this position?

Couldn't find it, send me the URL?

I did a little tweaking, only tested this 3 times, but I want to have your opinions before continuing.

8th = FISW

Pawns Home Rank = Off

Name = "Reversed Roles"

why wasn't this testing done before posting this variant?

Please elaborate again, as in which variant I posted here.

Maybe I should be the elaborator. Basically, since you guys thought the original was more like and WoF than a NVC (I don't blame you guys for that, it sounded perfectly reasonable to me), I decided to remake the custom with the same "Pawns Only" theme. I created this, and wanted to see which one you guys thought was better. If the new one is better, then I'll keep testing, otherwise I'll go and do something else.

Or maybe they're both good, and in that case, I'll just create a new forum for the new one.

Well, you're supposed to be sure about a position before posting it, and properly notify us if you want to "self-decline" if there is indeed an issue that you missed during testing. The new position that you have provided I cannot give any direct feedback on at the moment, and I would encourage you to make a new post (and get the proper amount of testing games) if you want to submit a new position.

Ok, I see.

Forced draw; attacking pawns is the clear strategy and there is no way to promote.
