Do you have a board at home, zlit?

Well here's an interview with a well known variant author explaining how he did it

1. Ask chess.com to implement it

2. Play it in forums.

Examples of forum games are here and here and here.

 

PunchboxNET

Just come up with some more pieces and how they move and you have at least some kind of variant there.
