Why sooo many variations of chess?!?! Lol   I'm surprised they can have enough players to match opponents up in each one! 

lol yeah actually I saw 500-600 people playing bughouse and 4 player chess, and 200 playing fog of war

You want to see impossible, lol. How about this variant with one piece that teleports pieces to the back row instead of capturing them, another that petrifies pieces so they can't move, another piece creates a "gravity distortion field" that halts sliders so they can't go past the red x it leaves as it moves, and so on.

Wait, where did you find the other variants like Chaturanga and Horde? I can't find it on chess.com.
