That is a very bad idea to post for a variant.

I actually mess around with variants from time to time, and I've found some interesting things you could play around with. For example, maybe a KotH with a large "hill", but the hill is defended by a Futer, forcing players to break through the "city" to get to the hill at the same time as attacking and defending against the other players. For example, here's a quick map with this idea, with the additional idea of a third player to increase tension (eg, an accidental alliance between Red and Blue to bully Yellow so Yellow can't consolidate and instantly annihilate them):
of course, this is just a quick example and you can do whatever you want with the idea (I am not saying my example is balanced).

Nice variant example, but 3 player chess is nearly always unbalanced due to the nature of the stronger player being teamed upon by the 2 other players
A bare giveaway fatal variant?
4 player 3 check

I expanded on your idea and built a 2 player variant with a giant hill!

What's the name (If you added it to Variants World)? I checked Variants.World but couldn't find your variant.
I need ideas, as I am competing with @imchesspro0930 to see who can make the most variants!
