Silver Anniversary[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Since the Chess Variant Pages was founded in 1997, 2022 marks the Silver Anniversary of the site. Any thoughts on what we should do to mark this occasion?

A tournament would be nice. A longer one than usual maybe.

The classic answer was to hold a Design contest (the obvious themes in this case being Silver and/or the nr 25), but I'm not sure if we have enough people active here aþm for that to really work — istr the 2017 20th‌‐anniversary one never really went anywhere (though I suppose one could always try recruiting from other Variant fora…).

That said, a tournament would work too. Featuring games from throughout the pages' tenure…

But what was CVP in 1995-1997 then?

It looks like I had incorrect information on the page I consulted last night. So, the Silver Anniversary was two years ago in 2020.

That is sad, then.

A tournament would still be nice, wouldn't it?

I'd like it, but people do not seem interested at this time.
