When is a new variant coming out?

Just asking since I am a fan of variants😅😅😅😅

We could combine some rules. like
 - 5-check and king of the hill
 - "fog of the hill"
 - torpedo sideways
etc. you could even play atomic + giveaway + fogofwar or whatever floats your goat.



What's not ready is that you can set up these games yourselves, but we could put more games on the list. Problem is probably, the list will get very long.

Out of curiosity, when, or if, is crazyhouse/chess960 to be added? I'm just wondering, I'm sure the former is harder to code.

Thanks!

Or here, a game i made up, only thing is i don't know how good/fun of a game it is xD

I tried a few variations of this a while back. All these things can already be done on 4player chess. https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=3496452-10
ppl create and try out new variants all the time.

you can add zombies and bounties and shape the board too https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=5231419-0

960 we have actually, could add now. Not sure what the politics are but makes sense to me. CH not for a while depending on priorities.

HSCCCB

Ok, Thank you. And thank you for all the work you've done with this.

Once we have piece banks we can offer CH, automate style setup chess, and seirawan chess where I believe you can drop the pieces? I forgot what the other rules are.
We could add Capablanca chess (castling would be a bit different I think) or Courier Chess.

Would love to see Chess 960 added

I was trying that in the lab, and noticed fog+zh is a bit lame as you see most squares (where you can drop)

crazyhouse

Yea, some would work, some wouldn't work, and some would need to be changed. Just thinking, I have no idea how fow 4pc would work, 4pcffa zh would probably need some changing to work, but 4pc teams zh seems like it might work without any changes. Anyway, some time I should try to get a 4pc 3check or 960 game going, those are interesting modifications as well.

@chessburger13 and @HSCCCalebBrown both chess960 and crazyhouse are in chess.com. If that doesn't apply to u then your computer has a problem.

ummm that doesn't make sense. If the next square has to be vacant, you can't capture any pieces, so all of your grasshoppers are stuck. You'll eventually run out of sqauares and both be put in stalemate.

Probably made it up on a computer, took a screenshot, and pasted it into the image that showed up in the comment. You can post images here.
