The easiest new variant for developers

I want to propose the simplest possible variant to be added to this website, with the least fuss and coding. I call it 'Anti-Antichess' or 'Reverse Antichess'. The idea is very simple; it's the same as the plain Antichess, except the objective is quite the reverse -- to capture all the opponent's pieces.

Therefore, the only change to be made is to reverse the winner/loser of the game, and that's all. The same rules apply to this game. And I think it is the simplest new variant for developers.

Since I have proposed the idea of this new variant, many antichess players, including most top players on the chart, have liked the idea, the complexities and perplexities of the game.

I want to ask developers if there is a chance that we can have this easy-to-apply variant soon. Antichess players are welcome to post their opinions on the game here. We can still play the game here in the causal mode, just bearing in mind that the winner of the game is indeed the loser. So if anyone is interested to play the game just send me a message.

good i like it, it is like chesss

edit my 1st and because now i can

No it is not like chess. It's like whenever a capture is possible, you have to capture -- just like Antichess. But the objective is quite the reverse: you have to capture all the opponent's pieces (instead of getting rid of all your pieces). All the rules in Antichess applies to Reverse Antichess as well (king has no special value, captures are mandatory, ...).

So the idea is to put yourself in situations that would make you capture all the opponent's pieces (which would be regarded as inferior or undesirable situation in ordinary Antichess).

This is a sample game: en.lichess.org/Eh2prLGR

yeha i know but it is similar to chess compared to antichess

I don't think that's gonna happen. I asked thibault before about a variant I hoped to get implemented and he said it's not not done because of coding difficulties but because almost noone would play it and they don't want to add variants if noone plays them.
But lichess is open source, you can take the Antichess source code, modify it, and set up an own site to play that variant. ;)

I have a feeling that white should be unbeatable. You simply open with a queen-side pawn and gobble everything?

@MoistvonLipwig I see your point.

@tangibletremor No it's not like that. It's much more complicated than the ordinary Antichess. Unlike what you said, the best strategy is keep the queen for the mid to endgame. Losing your queen early in the game is a big disadvantage.

@tangibletremor I've played it against @townes-paycheck and trust me if you do this you loose. He will just make your target a pawn protected by another one and then you're done.
It's actually way more complicated than anti more similar than regular chess I agree. Indeed it is quite a defensive variant, but i am sure than most of the anti chess community will play it

I support this idea.:-)
