i am not sure if there is a chart or anything but i know chess960 and atomic are popular and actually good
...
Been playing 4 player Chaturaji for a long time now. Think the regular 4 player chess is most popular variant. Other popular ones are 960, fog of war, atomic, Chaturaji, duck chess, crazyhouse…
Oh and if you go to “4 player and variants” it should show you off to the right how many people are playing each

Hey, no offense, but it’s totally obvious that variants, even when tweaked and arranged for most folks, are niche.

These are basically Chinese and Japanese versions of chess. The rules are slightly different but the most frustrating part is that the pieces have Kanji symbols, rather that figurines.
if you play at xiangqi.com and lishogi.org they have figurine symbols
Im not a huge variants players, a bit now and then. How popular are the varients and which are the most popular? (I am thinking 960?)
Is there a chart that shows the variants player stats as in how many are playing each format.
And are their tournaments for the varients (other than 960)
Just wondered.
thanks in advance.
