Add Losers Chess?

@OneDummHikk Having to move your king out of check, complicates matters. You will realize it after you play several games of both variants.
If Andrew says its a better variant, I will trust his opinion.
When I played both losers and suicide on FICS five years ago, losers was my favourite. However, if I had to vote now, I would vote for antichess.
@OneDummHikk you can play Losers (and other variants supported except bug) on FICS online at www.freechess.club
But you have to use the console to create seeks because GUI supports standard seek creation only.
You can get help in the console about commands. just type: help losers
Hope this helps.
#12 Agreed, unsolved variants are better than solved ones.
I played both suicide and losers regulary on FICS. They are very different games. I enjoy both and would love to see it added on lichess.

There is no such thing as too many vaiants. :)
I had retired from all variants after playing a lot of suicide and losers on FICS. I would have never come back and played antichess again if the solution hadn't been completed in the interim.
Anti is too forcing and calculation heavy for my taste. Losers can basically be played strategically even if still intricate at a high level
