I like playing as white because white has a better tempo

That -doesn’t count

@FairSincereGirl Can you clarify your argument? Why it doesn't count? What defines as "variant" in chess?

And what are the variant that counts as variant chess?

Thank you

P.S - btw, your statement on "I like playing as white..." is fallible because playing as black or white is not a variant

Unfortunately, I don't get to play as many of them as I would like.
