who has other kinds of chess? post them here!
I heard of chinese chess. Too complicated for me :(.
i have one: minichess! you play on a 5*5 board. You cannot move your pawns forward two spaces forward on the first move, or capture en pasant. Your king can castle, but by moving your king one square towards the rook and then letting your rook jump over.Finally, to promote your pawn, you must reach the last rank, turn around, and then go back to the other side of the board. Here'1s
umm theres bughouse, krazyhouse, diagonal chess, 2 move chess, cylindrical chess, fantasy chess, atomic chess, fischer random, shuffle chess, 3 checks, kriegspel, shatranj (if you consider that a chess variant), power chess, advance chess, reverse chess, plunder chess, giveaway, losers, and then i know of like 5 other variants but dont know the name of them. if you wanna know how any of these are played just say so
progressive chess (white gets 1 move, black 2, white 3 etc. - different systems have rules for whether you can move the same piece twice in a turn or not), rugby chess (only goal is to get your king to the opponent's back rank), alice chess (play on 2 boards, every time you move a piece, it moves to the other board "through the looking glass") and plenty more. Look up "chess variant" on wikipedia, they have a big list.
