NCV Limited Life

Author: TimeVeteran

Gamerules: 36-50 check, Torpedo, Regicide, Fatal Capture, Seirawan, Crazywan, Stalemate Loss, 11th = EHQV

Extended Seirawan (FEN in VW link cause CC hates variant FENs)

Submitted time control will be 5|4 instead of 3|2

Description:

Since chess.com's FEN detector detects the position incorrectly, here is the correct FEN to play the correct version:

[CC doesn’t like variant FENs)

What this changes from the previous version:

Position revamp. (recommendations from @imchesspro0930)

When pawns move for the first time, they can seirawan (Needs correct FEN).

Torpedo.

Shorter game length, 36 moves. (recommendation from @NoWellOkay)

To win, score the most points in 36 moves, or stalemate the other player (though rare). Here, the 1p queen, wildebeast, and grasshopper collectively improve the strategy from the previous version, so you can take risks more.

Testing games are found in my archive(Custom game), around 75 games including the previous version.

Credits to @imchesspro0930 for piece recommendations, specifically the 1p queen and the alibaba, and @NoWellOkay for other gameplay recommendations.

Additional Notes:

This will probably be one of two variants I’ll submit here.

Please test with the right FEN4.

Status: Under Review (Bugged) Additional Seirawan squares don't work due to a bug, therefore this variant cannot be reviewed for now.

I wonder who made this perfectly crafted variant…
