You know what I would love to see. I would love to see the community look at a single chess variant for a while and help develop theory for the variant, such as:
  • Making sure the variant has a Zillions and a Game Courier preset
  • Calculating the value of the pieces in the variant
  • Coming up with some mating problems from actual games played in the variant, either human-vs-human, human-vs-computer, or computer-vs-computer
  • Coming up with some opening theory for the game
One variant that may be worth looking at would be, for example, Grand Chess or Embassy Chess. But I would bow to consensus if people decided to look at another variant instead.
