I will donate $1,000 USD if LIChess implements the Bronstein Chess Varient

From this game we can see the Current Placement Chess World Champion Carl Boor playing the classical set up. Some may argue this is a handicap but that is for future theorists to debate.

@Sarg0n If Sarg0n had been alive in India in the fourth century AD, he would have been scandalized that people wanted to replace the elephant piece with a knight. "No elephants? NO ELEPHANTS?!?!?!? Are you crazy, or just stupid? Idiots." - Sargon circa 400AD. With a fruity Indian accent :p Anything new - anything with the flair of the future - is superfluous to Sarg0n. Only the present is fluous :p

Who declared you world champion? :p You? :p Which tournament did you win that accolade in?

This variant is totally worth it, it is more accurate version of battle than standard chess is.
As a variant fan (played all of them) I totally join boorchess request.

But there is even stronger, flexible and interesting version. It starts with completely empty board and no restrictions.
First 32 moves both players set up any of their 16 pieces in any order on their half of board.
It create wild and very complicated starting positions which tend to be best of best chess can provide.

And full-free variant is closer to real battle, since it's mess where you must take decisions on the fly, having limited idea of opponent setup. Please implement this.

Here is example of starting positions which may appear in this variant:


They are wild, unbalanced and very cool to play.

@Sarg0n, seriously, I had faith in you for years. If you against this variant, you'll goddamn lose one very dedicated follower. Come on, reconsider twice, may be look into extended version above.

@hal9k i have played a few games in this variant on another server (that with the purple layout, forgot its name). It is nice. I would support if both variants were added.

did some one say FREE MONEY???????

Here I posted an example what extended version of placement looks like:

You can try it by cloning study, adding a friend to it and simultaneous editing from starting position. Or in real life, works just fine too.
