Except for the two sans-serif Ss and the three pieces in the Chess Magnetic font (two Rooks and a Pawn), nothing in the words Chess Variant is in the same font. This is similar to what is being done in the current logo, where each letter of these two words is in a different font. I tried two Ss in different fonts but didn't like how it looked. The words The and Pages are both in Segoe.
Since spaces are not allowed in URLs, it is not confusing for a term that includes spaces to be spelled without them in an URL. But since URLs can include hyphens, spelling the name with a hyphen without also including a hyphen in the URL would be confusing. Also, I'm not at all convinced that it would be more grammatical. If this site were on Baseball Cards, I don't think calling it The Baseball-Card Pages would be more appropriate than the Baseball Card Pages. Like Baseball Card, Chess Variant is a noun, and calling it the Chess Variant Pages means that this is a site with pages on Chess Variants, not that it is a site of pages that can be described by the adjective Chess-variant.
