My variant 'Borderline' is obviously ignored, although it has been published.
The reluctance is understandable.
Nevertheless, I would like to point out that the mechanism does not seem to have existed yet - does it? 'No pawns', 'the capture of pieces does not take place - except for the king'. This is against the holy grail. Agreed.
But why should only the most complicated variants get attention. And just those are made playable. It may be that I am in a dead end - but I would like to be able to understand that.
