I can't even done first one
Player Challenge: Memory Positions
Detour, X of Tricks joined the chat
imo, they're easier than most of these I listed. Can I memorize the positions? Obviously not.
New challenge: You must be able to set up the variant on the physical board in less than 1 minute. Do not forget to place the transparent bricks as well!

How would you set up King of The Hill or Fog in real life?
XXL chess is not medium, it is very easy, and Thermopylae is ridiculously hard, not "a bit more difficulty"!

XXL Chess is hard because you have to memorize 14 piece positions, not 8. Thermopylae isn't that hard once you study Red's position. (diagonal of bishops and sergeant, 2x3s of sergeant, nr, and bishop)
Who wants to set up storming the castle from memory
Here's my attempt:

Think you know all the variants? Make their positions from memory, then.
You only need to get the setup right; game-rules and setup banks don't count.
Oh, and also, no cheating.

I'm so bad that I can't even get past Tiny Bit Below Medium.

Swapped VCII and Thermopylae because people complain.
