Avatar of imchesspro0930

Credits to @2bhnst my the idea https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/custom-position-stereotypes 

Since I was not in this community as long, some of these will be made up, either since the game i saw it in is extremely old, or could not find a real example.

1.  Forced Checkmate

Yes. i saw this today.

2. This

I saw this bishop knight mate practice 3 times.

Not saying it's bad, I understand them unlike the next one...

3. Some random revision to chess that's clear wasn't playtested (Includes revisions to Gothic chess)

what is this thing

4. Queen/Amazon/Rook SPAM

5. A worse 'revision' of an existing variant

Don't.

6. Whatever this is

this CAN be fun if done right, but I have only seen ones done wrong.

7. Ones you cannot tell if it is a joke or not (it was but now it isnt also this is mine i cant find examples)

8. CHAOS


Don't get it? CRAZYHOUSE IS ON

9. Futered 4pc varint

Usually obscure ones

10: THE IDIOTS

11: Someone who actually tries to make something good

 Comment others I missed since I dont have much ideas right now

Hopefully this isn't fated to end like the original. Btw, you forgot "The Guy Who Is Genuinely Trying To Make A Good Position"

Here's another one: #Lobotomy

Avatar of noahfavelo

yes, but you never see the lobotomy variants being tested or played very much... I wonder why...

By the way, what does Lobotomy mean?

Avatar of Lucas1009991

Lobotomy is a very horrific, disturbing, and pseudoscientific surgery, please, for the sake of your own mental sanity don’t search it on google and then go to images

Also: When you are forced to make progress

And don't forget:

Knightchess

Knightchess with spells

Amalgam

Playing on the letters

SETUP 360 ON A 14X14

Weird combinations (6+ Taboo, Ghostboard Fog of War, Any Capture Giveaway)

Infinite Tradeoff (crazyhouse is on)

The "Someone who actually tries to make something good" doesn't even work because the pawns can't go past the gaps and the kings can't get around because of the opposing pawns.

or maybe the keyword here is tries...

probably
