Who would be interested in a chess randomizer mode for Lichess? As a variant, most of it would be luck, but it would be extremely fun I think. However I kind of want to know who would be interested in playing this mode, as it would be extremely crazy and chaotic. Clock times are random for each game, random events, random pieces, possible four player mode, switching between random variants, and much more! Before I invest the next couple of months into this, I want to see if anyone would be interested in this at all. Feel free to comment with thoughts, ideas, or recommendations!
sure! that would be awsome

That doesn't sound smart; nor fair. Someone who has a day to move compared to someone who has just a minute on their game clock, for example looking at various extremes. There would have to be reasonable boundaries within an category of time to even have that randomness approximately reach smartness or Fairplay, or even expectations of when the chess game might be done with.

Yeah, I agree. I meant more that you wouldn't choose to do any type of time control for a chess game, but it would choose the time control for you. Although, one person might get free time while the other person doesn't, it just is all random.
