Can you make an accepted variant in only one minute?
It usually takes hours of time and dedication to make a good variant, and most of them ended up getting declined. For example, Qiang-Xiangqi, Threaded Turns and Raji's End have taken hours to create, and all of them have been declined (the last one even being autodeclined!). But what if I told you that according to @imchesspro0930, the variant Solarion by @imchesspro0930 was only made in one minute, and it got accepted?
Me and @imchesspro0930 would like to introduce you our new challenge: Minute Maid! I'm not talking about the popular fruit drink company, I am talking about variants that are made in only one minute.
Here are the requirements:
The variant can only be created in one minute. You can't make anymore revisions after your one minute is up!
It has to be playable and creative. Variants like spam, 'upgraded chess' etc are not included.
NEW RULE (01/02/2025): THE VARIANT POST MUST HAVE THE LYRICS TO ANY APPROPIATE SONG IN THE DESCRIPTION!!!
And that's it!
To join the series, just create a variant that follows the requirements, and submit it! You guys can use this forum to ask questions about the series and discuss ideas for possible new variants too!
