this is the M1
Edit: Nevermind
Chess 2.0 As far as I remember, this variant was available in the old variant about 1-->2 year ago the original

Should I return to this?
Huh, this is interesting. I think you should, but diversify the piece palette and other things. Otherwise, I could see this concept as a decent NCV.
(casually ignores the comment above) (joke: idk tbh, ask TV)
Okay, @TimeVeteran I tried to remake it on a 12x12

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/87007935/60/1 (with restricted crazyhouse)
Is this better, or should I do anything else?
The second row of pieces for both red and yellow are completely useless and are for defense, especially the ferz, consider buffing them.
https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/86899853/51/1 (blitz)
https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/86969847/70/3
+ rematches (bullet)
https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/86969562/64/3 (hyperbullet)
Planning to submit this soon, any changes I should make?
1. WoFs no longer can be in a blitz tc, only bullet and hyperbullet, and even so this should be bullet.
2. The concept is cool, but it's just a tradefest until your opponent blunders his queen or runs out of time. Even so, it still is has originality issues because https://variants.world/posts/1837 (which is partially my variant) exists. You should try making the gameplay a lot more different.
I forgot about blitz not being allowed in WoFs lol
Anyways how can I improve this position while keeping kind of the same concept?

Sure! What is the position?
I have been reading forums and seen that not many variants are submitted lately!
That is for 2 reasons.
1) Submission has been moved to https://variants.world
2) The submission system is currently bugged.
That URL links to the position editor. Post a screenshot of your position.
This is what I see
Been testing this for several games with different variations, I think this concept is good but not finished yet and I need help balancing both sides. Keep in mind the 2 check and hill because many changes I tried to make affected the balance greatly.
