hi, quick question about the rules regarding selecting variants for match. My opponent and I have 3 variants each, with 1 overlap. If he chooses first, he can choose the one we have in common, and I'll have to choose one from his list that I don't play, but if I choose first, I can choose the variant that overlaps, and he'll have to choose a variant from my list that he doesn't play. In this case, how to ensure fairness regarding variant selection?
#12 you snooze you lose, I guess

I already picked Rk from my opponent's list on the straightforward ground that it was on my list too and if I didn't, my opponent would (he's a specialist). I didn't much fancy his only other option (even though I'm a bit higher rated)!
Ah ok I see now:

"In this way, at least one, but most likely two variants are chosen."

Hm. Easily missed fine detail, but rules are rules. I guess I'm going to fall at the first hurdle.

EDIT: Since I didn't qualify for the RK world championship (not enough games played) I can do this instead :-/
There's no reason why not... your choice doesn't effect opponent choice.
Well, in contract law there is offer and acceptance...and AFAICS my opponent hasn't been online since I tried to contact so I guess I can withdraw my offer with a clear conscience. So it'll be antichess and racing kings. Good times.
