Hi everyone!

I was curious to see which variants players find most interesting/diverse/fun happy.png

I'm expecting to see similar trends to player count per variant, but I might be surprised. : D

Looking forward to seeing your responses! 
Edited a year later to include my own response haha

  • Chaturaji/Hyper-fiesta
  • Crazyhouse
  • Bughouse
  • Four-player-chess (FFA/teams)
  • Atomic
  • Spell chess
  • Cross Derby
Green_Sleeves

I like Gothic, Teams, Chaturaji, koth, and 3+. I don’t anything bullet or hyper.

I really enjoy Fog of War

I love Fog of War. It is amazing how many games you play against stronger players that look like they were played with full sight of the board.

Hola, mi variante favorita es una que he inventado yo, se llama Ajedrez con Arqueros 🏹

Les facilito el enlace de la presentación de la variante en la prensa, para que valoren si habría posibilidad de incluirla en su web, para mí sería un honor poderles dar más detalles sobre la variante.

The archer piece idea looks really cool, might be difficult to code, however.

For custom variants we have this nice club here: https://www.chess.com/club/custom-variants, it's where members can submit their variant ideas and test games.

Main hurdle with this one would be coding and developing the archer piece happy.png
