https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jm_yhwvwY_QKZUf-dTc8AhkKrjotccbvsIZRbXnfz14/edit?gid=0#gid=0 The link above is a Google Sheet that I have created that includes all currently accepted NCVs on chess.com. It will be consistently updated shortly upon the acceptance of any new NCVs. It includes: -Variant names and authors -Player/zombie counts -Links to each individual variant -All applicable rules for every variant -Instructions to make a personal copy and sort the variant data Now you might be wondering, "Why did he take so much time to do this? And why?" I made this because I was scrolling through the Variants page one day and I was like, "These variants are so cool... but it must take a long time to get to know them". So I made this to make knowing the rules of variants more efficient, rather than having to scroll through the Variants page and select each game mode individually to learn more about its rules. As for why I spent so much time... Because I could. Hopefully, this can enhance your Variants experience by allowing you to find new variants (if any!) and can help newer players find variants that they like. It also helps me personally with knowing which variants are 2-player and which are 4-player. ...Enjoy.

Clinging chess is a variant where whereever your piece rook/queen/knight/bishop. moves. (not including pawns.) if theres another piece in a 1 square radius. they both cant move for 2 moves. and instead of checkmating you must capture the king, making this is a game of strategy.  when a PAWN captures a piece everything in a TWO block radius gets clinged. if a pawn captures another pawn this may not happen.

what if its 4 player chess but each side has all the pices in a row at the bottom kings then queens then bishops ect. ending with pawns

I love Chess and I've been playing it for a long time, but what if I told you there is a circular chess board? That's right, there is one. Circular Chess Rules: Just like chess, but there is a circular chess board. Pawns home ranks are 3 and 4. Pawns on a5, a6, j5, or j6 can en passant twice if there is a pawn on b4, b7, i4, or i7 and a pawn on c3, c8, h3, or h8. That is the only time pawns can en passant twice due to the position. In regular chess, pawns can only en passant once. The circular board means that without corners/edges, it's harder to checkmate. It also means that Queens have fewer safe spots when it is at the edge. At ranks 1 and 10, kings always have a maximum of 4 moves, if no piece is in the way and no piece is attacking the king's moves. That's all!

Short story: I GRINDED

Could we add Kung Fu chess to variants? There's a website called "kfchess.com" that has a chess variant where you play normal chess except that it is without turns. This means that you can move several pieces at the same time without waiting for the opponent to do their move. Also, when you've moved a piece in Kung Fu Chess, you can't move it again for a few seconds. You can't win using checkmate in this variant, but you have to capture the opponent king in order to win.  I'm just wondering if chess.com needs something like a copyright from the "kfchess.com" website to have Kung Fu Chess as a variant in Chess.com/variants.

 1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10 Timecontrol 45 sec Gamerules Stalemate Wins Promotion Ferz, Xiangqi Horse, Wazir on the 9th rank Note Inspired by Minihouse, made by @MrKheese. I thought Minihouse was hard to win so I made this. It still has the same strategies as Minihouse, as one move is all it takes to lose the game. 45 seconds will make it more fast-paced. Like the regular Minihouse, it has so many tricks, tips and traps that people fall for. According to @Coolwind7, the computer can go through all possible moves quickly, if the opponent plays horribly, then one player can get advantage up to +20-30. I have done about 30 testing games with exactly 10 different players. Hope you like it, and I hope @bsrti likes it because he is the best minihouse player and @MrKheese because he made the original!

this idea has been already suggested. can chess.com add a custom piece that combines rook and king/firz.

It's like King Of The Hill but all the pieces do look like Checkers.

We have forums for positions but not new piece ideas. Use this to upload any ideas for new pieces you have. CGAs please pin I recently made a forum with suggestions for new pieces and here are some really interesting ones. By others and myself.Here they are:Checkers: Just a checkers piece but no forced capture. Cannot move again on captures but also moves vertically like pawn[1]Omni pawn: Moves like a wazir and captures like a ferz[1]Star: Combines King and Alibaba[3]Stomper: Moves like a xiangqi horse but can capture orthogonal pieces on its way[5]Sniper: Moves 3 squares in any direction but does not move if it captures[9]Watchtower(: Combines rook and ferz[7]Dragon: Moves like queen but captures like a king[7]Peasant: Dabbaba that can only move forwards and backwards, promotes to alibaba[2]Emperor: Moves like amazon but does not move when it captures.[15]Box: King+Alibaba+knight[7]Wildabeast rider: camel rider + knight rider [10]Royal Bishop: king + bishop [5]Desert queen: Camel + queen [12] Border Patrol:(alibabba + knight) [5] Circle-Knight (knight + dabbaba) [4] Arrow-Knight (knight + alfil) [4]Shield (can move anywhere, but cannot capture) [5]

how do i make custom variants like ppl here? Should i friend everyone here

Chess, but each turn you roll the dice1 = Lose all pieces (Except the king) For 3 turns 2 = All of your pieces (Except the king) turn into pawns for 5 turns 3 = Your Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Queens get frozen for 3 turns (Be careful, you can stalemate yourself!) 4 = All of your pieces (Except the king) turn into knights for 5 turns 5 = Your opponent gains a random piece 6 = Half your pieces are gone 7 = 25% Chance you gain a piece, 75% Chance you lose a piece 8 = A random piece turns into a pawn 9 = Roll again 10 = Nothing 11 = One of your pawns turn into a knight 12 = One of your pawns turn into a bishop 13 = Your opponent loses a pawn 14 = Gain a random piece 15 = Capture a piece without your pieces getting captured back for 1 turn (If you can capture a piece) 16 = Your opponent loses a rook 17 = Gain 2 random pieces 18 = Get 3 moves (Unless there is check) 19 = You gain a random piece that delivers check (You can't move the checking piece) 20 = Dream position Win by capturing the king or checkmate!

this game is about the king mining more pieces out of the board

If you did a move with a piece, your next turn you can’t move that piece, it’s “frozen”. Also frozen pieces cannot be eaten.

maybe we could do a big chess board with double amount of pieces like a normal game of chess
