[UNOFFICIAL] New Year’s Nonsense 2025

This is a modified version of the variant 'New Years Nonsense 2023' by @qilp.

I've repurposed the original 2023 New Year's Nonsense chess variant for 2025. The only change is replacing the '3' from 2023 with a '5' for 2025. It was unfortunate that there wasn't a New Year's Nonsense tournament in 2024, so I'm hoping @ChessMasterGS will consider using this variant for next year. If chosen, could you make it another week-long tournament with membership prizes? Also, if used, please don’t credit me, credit the person who made the original version.

What do you guys think?

That is so nonsence.

DO NOT try to organize a new tournament that will take off the usual WoF's, PLEASE. Let Beehive and Barricade have their time to shine. Please do not be selfish.

Nope, @qilp probably made the old version, i just revised it

Usually, you would get a link to the workshop/testing thread. However, I think this variant deserves it’s own forum.

FD. Red shuffles the alfil e8-g10 and Green shuffles the j6 wazir k6-j6

This wasn’t made by me, it’s @qilp’s new years puzzle for 2023, but I changed it

Workshop testign thread lol

We might have a New Years WoF next year, but this year it is too soon to just review this immediately and ideally a candidate should be completed well before the end of the year. Festive Fortune was also the first time we ever used a community WoF so it's a new precedent that we will experiment with for other holidays in 2025, but perhaps not now.

But this is the same...
