My variant 'Borderline' is obviously ignored, although it has been published.

Don't take it personal; almost everything posted here gets ignored.

Making a game playable is basically the responsibility of the inventor. Most people know how to make a preset for Game Courier, even if it is only one that doesn't enforce rules. Someone must be really eager to play a certain variant designed by another before he would make a GC preset for that himself. Of course that depends on how appealing they find the variant, and not in the first place on how innovative it is. But most of the time it would never happen.

And you are right; Borderline is very different from Chess, and this might scare people off. I myself am more interested in variants that only differ by how the pieces move. (But I don't play those either; my hobby is programming computers, not playing games.)
