38-Contest Vote

The winners of the competition to design a chess variant on a board with 38 squares were determined by voting. Voting was done as follows, using the form shown below.

"Bad Game" will earn the game -1 points, "No Opinion / So-so" will earn the game 0 points, "Nice Game" will earn the game 1 point, and "Excellent Game" will earn the game 2 points.
