What about a pseudo-historical chess variant contest? That way the Short Range Project variants could have their own contest.

P.S. I think that a love themed variant contest is an interesting idea, seeing that chess has played a part in some romance stories.

P.P.S. I have always wondered what a Cupid piece would be like.

P.P.P.S. I therefore suggest that the contest be to design a chess variant which is pseudo-historical and/or love themed, but the Cupid piece, if there is one, is not too powerful in order to represent the fickle nature of love.
