I'll be taking over the running of the Recognized Chess Variants, and I
will soon begin a poll, which will run until the end of September, for
October's Recognized Variant of the Month. Here are the games listed in
the last poll:

Crazyhouse
Hostage Chess
Cavalier Chess
Rococo
ximeracak

Besides these, I'll add any games from the previous multivariant
tournament that are not already recognized. This amounts to one addition:

Chess on a Longer Board with a few Pieces Added

I'll add the games from the ongoing tournament after it has finished.
This will help put all the games in that tournament on a more equal
footing with each when they get added to the list. All are worthy of
consideration for the Recognized Variant of the Month given the selection
processes used to pick the games for the tournament. But I won't add any
of them until the tournament is over. Although Cavalier Chess is among the
games in the current tournament, it already made the list for Recognized
Variant candidates and was played in the previous multivariant
tournament.

Before I begin the new poll, I'll provide some time for nominations. Any
new nominations should follow the rules already given on this page. Please
make your nominations in the comments section of this page.
