I will donate $1,000 USD if LIChess implements the Bronstein Chess Varient

@boorchess what about the Github Issue?

I am not sure I understand. I am not a programmer and do not use github. I am reaching out to those who have the technical skills to implement this idea on the servers. Please share the idea!

I think the introduction of new variants is unlikely, after the rejection of Seirawan chess (Yasser was saying "If S-chess is introduced, I'll be here all the time"). But I posted elsewhere: I was thinking lichess could integrate with its sister site pychess to promote the smaller variants, in the same way that it promotes the smaller streamers: no big link on the homepage, but you see the stream link (or variant seeks) if you have followed the streamer or variant. It could be a whole new seek graph for minor variants if the main one is too cluttered. And we could challenge our friends at lichess to play Placement chess at Pychess. They are sister sites using the same code, so it could be relatively simple. Placement chess needs the nurturing environment of a wide userbase of chess players to take off. And if it does, it could be the new 960 :)

@boorchess Ok, im going to create an issue tomorrow.

Edit: I can confirm that it is hard to find opponents on Pychess.

Chess, fundamentally, is playing with toy soldiers. In that way, chess is a game for children.

Chess can be a biathlon: Western Chess and Chinese Chess.
Chess can be a triathlon: Play chess the way it was in India, no special rules. Queen moves 1 square diagonally, no castling, Bishop moves 2 squares diagonally, no 2 steps for first pawn move, no pawn promotion.
By the way, Chinese Chess has all those elements, it is closer to the original Indian Chess than Western Chess.

Chess is not real. Nor should it try to be. It's not like American Football where you decide which player stands where.

It's not like doubles tennis where you decide which player stands where:

2 in the front
2 in the back
1 in the front 1 in the back and its mirror
and how far from the net you stand and how far from baseline you stand,
2 in the middle front and back.

The predictability of chess is one of its strength. There are a continuum of games. Cards, unpredictable. Backgammon, half and half. Chess: all predictable.

@Long_Quach and what has this to do with the topic?

@Groove_And_Chess

You don't need a variation of chess, one already exists: Chinese Chess.

You can make it that a world chess champion would have to play 5 Western Chess and 5 Chinese Chess games (something like that). That will give variety to chess without changing its predictability or its historical continuity.

@Long_Quach Yeah. They should also do a rubicks cube solving contest.

@Groove_And_Chess

My answer is a serious answer.

"That will give variety to chess without changing its predictability or its historical continuity."

@Long_Quach sure, mine was too. What about checkers, lets include that too.
