Everyone promote this variant

best community is rk when coming to tournaments and players. Also some of the small tournaments are more fun and interesting than many. Also there are less players joining the hourly tournaments compared to rk playerwise it is a smal community but when compared to thrill and fun rk is the best variant.

Accept or cry end of the debate of which is the best coummunity

TBH RK has always been (AFAICR) the least popular variant on Lichess.

maybe it is not that popular but when compared to crazyhouse or horde or three check it is popular. This is my opinion.

Statistically you would be wrong...

https://lichess.org/stat/rating/distribution/crazyhouse
https://lichess.org/stat/rating/distribution/horde
https://lichess.org/stat/rating/distribution/threeCheck

Only 2.7k RK players this week...

Yes but best community?
Best teams?

best community is atomic

Nooo

RK isn't losing players, it's just that old players have retired and left.

See when RK wasn't popular, the new players in that time also did not knew how to play it or the openings etc. and hence they were weak.

Now when those weak players became strong. They made RK popular to the current day. And they are now inactive or retired to maybe control the power balance.

Now current era, many new players are rising and they also don't know how to play RK or openings, hence they are weak. But if time passes they will surely become strong one day.

But within years when they retire, more new players would come and they will then become strong.

So it's basically a loop, RK is not losing players.
We are feeling it's losing players because they are very few strong players (according to us) but the strong players have yet to rise.
