In my opinion Tournament must have some variant like: Fisher Random, Crazyhouse or Capablanca variant - it's a most well known and popular variants. I prefer Capa variant (Embassy) than Fisher Random.

Also Circular or Hex chess looks interesting and original to me. Because other variants are very easy to me. Circular Chess are easy to understand and it have originality, because Rooks are stronger than in chess, knights and bishops are weaker. Fergus, I want to offer not Embassy chess, but Circular Chess (or Hex). Because tournament must be an entry to different-type of board variants. What do you think?

'Knightmate'

Hm. Alice Chess looks more interesting. I think Alice Chess is not complicated at all.
