If I was looking to start playing variants which would most likely aid in my development most as a beginner? Thanks for all the insight!

Hi Bgags77,

I suggest Fog of War. It has the same rules as regular chess and will help you develop your ability to memorize where the pieces are even if you cannot see them. This will help you calculate during normal games, because you will be better able to visualize the moves and resulting positions in your mind.

Hope it helps!

Thanks so much @referendarius !  That sounds like exactly what I need to develop a little more speed and awareness. I tap out on time way too often in a 10m game!
