Results of finals voting of the 10-contest

For the contest to design a chess variant featuring the number 10, there was a two round voting. In the second round, only five people voted; however, the winner was rather clear, as for each other variant, a majority of the voters preferred the winner over the other variant. Also, two voters placed the winning variant on position 1 on their list; two other voters placed it on position three.

And the winner is ...

Capablanca Random Chess, by Reinhard Scharnagl.
