Chess is a beautiful game, but can sometimes get a bit repetitive. Therefore, we like to play variants: games based off of chess with a couple of rules slightly modified to create a new experience. On lichess, we already have a lot of cool variants, but there are still many more, way too many for lichess to implement all of them.
So, I came up with an idea: a team based on trying out new variants and having fun with them. It would work like this:
• If you want to play a variant with someone, first check if there is already a forum thread running for the variant.
• If there is, react to requests that have already been made / post a request in the thread.
• If there isn't, create a new thread where you post the rules of the variant in the first post and a request for someone to play it in the second post. This keeps it neat and organized.
The reason I'm posting here first is because I'd like to hear your opinions on this. Please tell me if you would be interested in such a team and what you think a good name for such a team would be.
