Hooray, the advanced search is up again! Thanks, lichess developers!
Thanks! It seems to work, but now I just got (once) the message:
"Something is wrong with the search engine!" on the download link line.
Search sometimes gives first "no games found", and then I make the same search but with no variant selected, and then again the first search, and this time it finds games.
Thanks for a great site to play chess and variants!
