why in lichess dosent have 960 tournaments ?
@lepri: Less than 2% of games in lichess are 960. Less than (I dont know)% play tournaments. 0.02 x 0.?= a few in a million.
many players will play if the tournaments are hourly or daily,and starting in fixed time
I disagree with Dyonisius there is nothing wrong with people trying to create new games, the main drawback is that people will have to play it, unless It is a solitary, even chess 960 is not popular enough.
But We can see here that in lichess that new variants have been implemented and there are many people that enjoy
them, three check atomic chess, etc
I did in the past thought about new chess variants but did not bother to share them due to the big amount I found that already existed.

There are more than a hundred variants there, almost two hundred.
It is a bit like chess studies, You can create a chess study but few will actually see it, due to the amount of chess knowledge that it is out there, or chess puzzles and so on
for example this site generates thousands of puzzles instanteously with our games, so the amount of information is breathtaking.
Anyway if You still want to create your own game, It might turn out later fun or popular but I do not think It is as easy to say I just want this and that, You will have to make sure that It is balanced, there are people that study that actually, game theory design.

It is a fascinating topic, someday I might as well design one.
