Fractal Chess. So far I have the rules similar to standard chess except for the board position, but I'm open to suggestions on rules to add. It's basically like the board is a fractal structure with the number of dimensions in between 1 and 2.

My new variant. Pawns can always move two and turn into knights on the eighth rank. I have already posted it on variants.world. That was before I knew of this club so I am posting it here.
Here is a link to the game: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/59350951/51/1

What do you think about Capture the Flag? https://prnt.sc/GeU6rruoRIz8 In this game, red has to checkmate green while yellow has to checkmate blue.
Apologies if this has been answered before, but is there anyway to create/submit variants for Solo Chess? Something in the vain of Queen's Quadrille and Hippodrome?

If you mean https://www.chess.com/solo-chess, then unfortunately CGAs don't have authority over that, I would ask in the Chess.com Beta club whether custom puzzles for Solo Chess can be created.

I’m testing a new KotH variant: “Dragons’ Nest!” The hill is guarded by a nest of Dragon Bishops! This is the first variant I know of that allows players to choose whether to battle just each other or release the “dragons” and attempt to take the hill! I very much welcome your critiques. Feel free to try it yourselves, and please send me a link to the games, so I can collect them for data! 🐉

Im making a new version of XXL chess, called LXXL chess, which stands for Little XXL chess. All of the pieces move only one square, but try to make the best! Stalemate=Win, 5+, and and 7th=Ferz, Xiangji horse (it's kind of not powerful since it can't jump over pieces). Also I set the home rank to 6 so you can "skip" promotion. Who wants to help me test it?

@Nyutixbrother That position is too similar to Don't Mate Green.
the players can also go after eachother but yes it's probably too similar to don't mate green
Is this a bad idea?
I'm calling it "Enchanted Woodland," and is totally, definitely, not a rip-off of Mini Forest.
