In this tournament I propose that we only have variants which have never been tried before. There are thousands of variants that have never been tried. Why pick up variants that are played on other servers and have been played here before? This organization should promote new variants, and not keep to already played ones. Other servers already play many chess variants regularly. Chess Variant pages should always try new ideas. Gustav III's Chess is a good example. In this way the debate about the pros and cons of the Amazon can reach a decision. Is it a good piece or not? How does this historical game work? In this way, also, we avoid the problem that many people have already played certain variants and thus have an advantage.
