Can you please approximate time of adding my chess variant "Cavalery attack" to playstrategy?

We (the PlayStrategy developers) have a lot of different priorities to juggle at the moment, at this moment in time I can't give you an answer to your question. I should be able to give you a more informative reply next week.

Hello @DarkKnight, to add a variant, particularly one which is not established, we would want to be sure of two things:
- That the variant is reasonably balanced
- That the variant will be reasonably popular

Therefore we suggest that you can demonstrate to us that both these points are satisfied. It is possible to create a Chess tournament on PlayStrategy with a customised starting FEN. This will make every game in the tournament play with the given 'Starting position'. As such you will be able to run a 'Cavalry Attack' tournament with the current features on PlayStrategy.

I believe the starting FEN for Cavalry Attack is:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/NNNNNNNN/NNNNKNNN w kq - 0 1

Hello. But I do not have plyrs for this tmt. Will you make it like "Cavalery attack introduction"

We want to be assured of the balance and popularity before adding the variant and before making official PlayStrategy tournaments for it.

How many players must I invite for adding the variant?

The more players and the more games played the more convincing a case for adding the variant is. We would expect multiple successful tournaments to be completed to demonstrate popularity. You can use a mix of Swiss and Arena tournaments for this.
