For me this Featured Chess Variant is either to 1) shine a light on some original CV that we want to advise. Or, and it is a completely different goal, 2) award a special recognition to a variant which is attracting success.
It is neither. It is about showcasing some of the best and best-supported games on our site. While some people will be more interested in featuring original games, that is up to them, and this system is not here specifically for showcasing original games. This system is also not here for the purpose of awarding games. Inventors might see it as a kind of award, but it is mainly about directing visitors to some high-quality content before they poke around and find some of our inferior web pages.
