'Gustav III's Chess is a good example.'

In my opinion it's a bad example. Two powerful Amazons on such board.... Hmm.

'Is it a good piece or not?'

Maybe it is a good piece, but not for 64 or 68 squares, and not two.

'There are thousands of variants that have never been tried.'

These variants can be played without tournament. There are no thousands of variants that match the criteria for this tournament's theme.

'In this tournament I propose that we only have variants which have never been tried
before.'

I cannot agree with such criteria.
