In this tournament I propose that we only have variants which have never been tried before.

This is an introductory tournament, targeted at beginners, and beginners should start with games already known to be good. I plan to follow this tournament with tournaments of other themes. Three ideas I have are an intermediate level Chess variant tournament, a large Chess variant tournament, and a Green Eggs & Ham tournament. Sam may be able to explain that reference to anyone who doesn't get it. The Green Eggs & Ham tournament is the one closest to what you have in mind.
