Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

I am always a bit suspicious towards variants where low-valued pieces are able to protect each other. In this case it might not be so bad, though, because the 4 extra captures probably drive up the value of this enhanced Pawn to around 2. So two Pawns protecting each other can still be threatened by a minor with backup, which can then sacrifice itself for the Pawns without incurring a loss.

I also don't understand the variant's name. Giving a piece some extra backward moves does not strike me as very progressive. The term 'retro' seems more applicable.

What you call 'lines' is usually referred to as 'files'.

What does it mean: "is obsolete"? If you mean "not allowed in this variant", then better say it. Because there are plenty of people that wouldn't see any harm in doing obsolete things...

If you leave a section blank, it won't be rendered; that's preferred for e.g. your Setup section. Maybe the pawn movement rules should be moved to Pieces?

I found the first bullet point confusing, having not yet read the others.

"Progressive" in variants usually means increasing moves per turn; the title could be confusing.

This was submitted this week. Note that I'm still approving submissions from May. While this one is short and easy to moderate (so might skip the line a bit), please be patient.

Apparently little interest in my variant. Nevertheless, I ask for publication.

No further comments on my variant? Then I would be happy if it were published.

This really is more of a proposal for a new piece, the Progressive Pawn.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that; there are many variants on this site that are pretty much the same. And I do rather like this piece; it would completely change the texture of back-line maneuvers.

Isn't it the case that the pawn chains are now to difficult to break?

Here is my new proposal for a variant with pawn promotion.
