I've added you marko. I'm usually willing to play custom positions. Having specific players in mind to play with you is the best way. Filling custom 4p positions in queue is hard and usually unhelpful.

You can playtest it against comfuters/randos if you want in custom positions
when i'm testing variants, i first test and improve it by playing with bots (usually i invite two bots and i whait a secod player); and i play it with 100% of real players when i found the final version.
When you wait for the game starting, you can start creating a new position to pass the time. (you can wait an hour like this)
And if nobody whant to join it may mean that your varient is not enough good...
I'm trying to test a 4 player variant to make it eligible for selection. However, when I open my game to players, it's very rare that 3 other players are on at the exact same time to enter my game. It's especially annoying when people join, only to leave because they've been waiting too long. Since I don't have enough chess friends to share my game with, is there a faster way to test my 4 player variant?
