First of all, I've been aware of the opening books for antichess and atomic ever since it became known on lichess.
We only know theory for *two out of six variants. You make it sound like all 6 variants that we have are completely solved. That is ridiculous.
Here is what Orange Space Drink (~2300 in 3-check) actually said:
"With a solid defense, black can definitely reach the middlegame. I still stand by my statement that *I think*, with perfect play from both sides, 3+ is always a win for white with 1. e4, **but I’m definitely not at that level yet**." Here we have the best 3-check player, far better than the vast majority of players on this site, saying that even he is not good enough to develop theory yet, and that he only *believes* that 1.e4 is always a win, with *perfect*play.

By the way, why are we "not touching" or counting 960 itself as a variant? You want to add 5 new, made up variants based on 960....one would think that you'd have respect for the only one that's real.
