Variant are a little special, not many people are playing them compare to chess.
You also have almost no resource available, almost no book, courses, video ect .
If you want to dwell into one variant, it is equivalent to play chess at the beginning of the history of the game.
Currently playing random and finding it more interesting than classical chess. Like chess but without all the boring and fundamentally unfair opening knowledge.
Embarrassingly, I recently lived up to this time-honored Cliche-----in several Variants (namely Crazyhouse, 3-Check, and King Of The Hill), I won my first-ever game; then I promptly went on to lose most of the rest of them. I got a draw in my first game of Chess960 (then same result as the others; lost the majority of the rest of the ones I played). When I say "the rest of them", I mean up to 10 games, since by that time it was apparent that I just simply didn't have the aptitude for Variants (although I really liked CRAZYHOUSE!), so I just took my 10-game award--for each Variant played--and ran, LOL...I am curious, though, what everyone else's success rate/aptitude is via Variants...I suspect it takes a special skill set to succeed at them...
