Many people don't even realize a Fischer-Karpov match in a variant was underway in 2006-2007.

My favorite variant is Bollwerk 178. Additionally to the 20 pieces each player has 25 supplementary stones at their disposal. We try to bring the game with our Kickstarter campaign 2021 on the market.

Second place is Gothic Chess.
