Hello Custom Variants Community!

Can you believe that we're almost in the last quarter of 2024? Summer is almost over for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere too!

Currently, we only have 4 variants left to review! All the while, the club has now reached over 3000 members, so thank you to everyone for your continued support! Our pace is increasing thanks to our NCV Testers, many of whom have been in their role for many months now. If you have any feedback for us, always feel free to DM me! 

For those wondering, the plan is to have Platinum Variant every 3 months, so we'll see another one in December. How it'll be selected is still being decided, and any and all ideas are welcome!

Thank you for reading and happy voting!

Want to see what variants were featured in previous Golden Variant arenas? See the schedule here:

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/2024-golden-variant-schedule

The format for this month's selection is as follows:

• The first week (September 6th) will be a 168-hour (1 week) arena of The Lake (the most recently accepted NCV).
• The second week (September 13th) will be a 72-hour (3 day) arena of the winner of Poll #1.
• The third week (September 20th) will be a 72-hour (3 day arena) of the winner of Poll #2.
• The fourth week (September 27th) will be either a 168-hour (1 week) arena of the newest most recently accepted NCV (we are expecting to accept one soon before the conclusion of the polls) or a 72-hour (3 day) arena of a randomly chosen variant by the CGAs.

The 2 polls will be made up of 5 preselected options each!

i am angry with Custom Variants Community.I will leave this club soon...

Any feedback on why you are angry with the community?

You guys' are not checking The Rook Fight.

That's because you never submitted it. (Read pinned forums on how to submit)

I will ask @quilp and leave this club.Bye 👋

@qlip not @quilp

oh i mean @qilp

`how can I add my variant to this list?

Which list are you referring to?

the golden variants

It has to be an accepted variant on the server and has to be selected as an option for voting

Courier Chess for life. Even if it's medieval and slow, it has this strange battle feeling to it.

Results are out!

Week 2: XXL Chess

Week 3: Crazy Cavalier

Week 4: Emperor's Tomb (CGA Pick)

Thanks to all for voting
