Lobotomy Forest lol

I'll call it that if I post it

Since the H and V are the only two major pieces that can enter the opponent's area, the best strategy is to shuffle. Maybe make it 3rd=... and 5+?

* Lobotomy Dangerous Diagonals

I think you meant to say Lobotomy Colourblinds

Nope. I said Lobotomy Dangerous Diagonals (Lobotomy DD)

6th=BGMOR, Duck

Should I make promotipn =GQMO or =BGMOR?

You're arguing over something that won't even be posted, I feel like it's going to be autodeclined.

So =GQMO or =BGMOR?

Maybe =BGQMOR.

I would advise simplifying promotion as a general rule of thumb, some variants have 5+ options but it usually isn't necessary unless there's a tactic associated with the piece (e.g., underpromotion, mating tactic, etc.)

This was just a joke I really don't know

[For previous posts] I asked =BGMOR or =GQMO because if you can promote to queen, then there's no point in promoting to bishop/rook, so should I make it you can promote to queen or you can't promote to queen.

Anyways, here's another position. I call it ͓̽F͓͓̽̽i͓͓̽̽v͓͓̽̽e͓̽:

Fatal, Crazyhouse, 5+, KotH, 3rd=FGNW

Sample game

What's preventing shuffling?

That's what i'm trying to fis too

Why the weird text on the name? And isn't this basically Claustrophobia but with outer 3x3 squares instead of outer 2x2 squares? Also, why is promotion to wazir a thing?

because yes

Serious answers:

1. Because "Five" is too bland

2. Yes, it is, it's a revision

3. You can't capture pieces with king, so the wazir's unique rook movement can defend your king.
