btw how do you log out of variants world
go to variants.world/logout

Ig I'll vote Underground War and Warui Shogi since they're the best on the list.
rubicon and warui shogi are the best
Urgh, best friends forever are better than Rubicon (However, you choice warui shogi like I did!)

They're probably facing the no-react bug
BFF overtook Warui-Shogi
btw how do you log out of variants world

Hello Custom Variants Community!
Yet another month has passed, and we're truly in the 2nd half of the year now; Golden Variant arenas as usual will still continue to make weekly appearances on the variants server for everyone to enjoy!
I'd also like to congratulate the prize-winners of our Q2 Platinum Variant (see full standings here), who emerged victorious in a week-long arena of the variant Ashtandrez by @martinaxo:
1st Place (1 month
): @CooolChicken
2nd Place (1 month
): @gardent490
3rd Place (1 month
): @wizardrunner
Barring any problem with an already existing membership or any other account issue, all membership prizes listed above have been gifted by Chess.com Staff already!
Next on the list of new updates, we wrapped up our NCV Tester Application a little over a week ago! We have just a few more applications to go through (mainly just needing the approval of our head CGA @qilp), so there may still be a few more acceptances to the testing team rolling out soon. Currently, we have welcomed two new team members: @VishTheFish771 and @asthebird!
As usual, to end things off in this section, here are some quick CGA stats as of late:

The voting is pretty short for this month, but regardless, let's get into it!
