Suggestion: Random-Wild idea from ICC (or Wild 29) #1511

29: Selects a wild at random, but not one of the odds games. Possible wilds are 3-5, 8-9, 17-18, 22-23, and 25-27. Some wilds are weighted to be picked more frequently than others. The game will be rated in the category of the wild selected (if the game is a rated game).

In the case of Pychess, some different category called "Random Variant" or something like that, where all the variants available on the site are chosen for each game (I do recall everytime there was a rematch, the variant would change) (possible choices with 960 or not and diff starting positions). Possibility to have a Tournament as well in the "Random Variant" category.

Might be difficult, but maybe an idea for the future. Love the website. Keep it up!

Thx for the suggestion. We discussed it on Discord before and agreed that it would be nice to have something similar on the site.
