Add quantum chess as a variant!

You're wrong. The "quantum move" in quantum chess is NOT the same mechanic as the schrodinger's cat:

In the schrodinger's cat model, a bomb either explodes or doesn't, and no one knows if the cat is still alive, except Nature, who decides based on factors from the environment.

In quantum chess, a piece either makes two moves or zero moves with a "quantum move", and no one knows if the piece has made two moves or none, not even Nature, because no board is actually arranged and the boards collapse by randomness.

Not to mention claiming that quantum chess retains "chess" is absolutely ridiculous when a player can make no moves on a turn and still call it a legal move. 0/2 is not the same as 1/1.

It would be fun to have some ramdomness in chess! Please make a deal with Chris Cantwell to sell you a licence.

Want randomness in chess play 960.

This seems awfully convoluted and boring and that comes from someone who loves quantum mechanics.

#13 It's not just you, anyone who's rational and not-stupid enough wouldn't like a twisted game like that.
