Having a VM title would be honorary to those who master the variant and encourage players of the field to look up to them, as existing variant chess media is scarce. It also boosts the atmosphere of playing variant chess on Lichess, and encourage users to commit to Lichess for playing chess variants instead of playing on somewhere else, like FICS. This would create a positive cycle."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ornicar/lila/issues/comments/143816261","html_url":"https://github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/1055#issuecomment-143816261","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ornicar/lila/issues/1055","id":143816261,"user":{"login":"Evropi","id":1735253,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1735253?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi","html_url":"https://github.com/Evropi","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Evropi/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-28T17:39:54Z","updated_at":"2015-09-28T17:39:54Z","body":"Only if we have an engine for said variants."}}
