The worst is the one where you're trying to lose all of your pieces.
If that was a real game, I'm sure there's meaning to it; just like any chess game.

There are no "worst" variants; similarly in line with the notion that there are "no dumb questions".
Surely, that notion could be debated in some ways, just like my sentiment on "no 'worst' variants" can too be refuted in some specific way or other.
The way I see it, all variants were invented for a reason, and no one holds the universal rules as to what would qualify something as "the worst".
The worst, as in, the games that makes someone the most physically ill? The one that causes the deepest, most vile anger of all human emotions? The ones we play the most when we're most lonely? Most broken out? Most depressed? The hardest to play? The most boring? The easiest to finish? The most confusing? What's "the worst", exactly? Since, unless someone can show that I'm wrong, no chess variant can be all of these.
And then, even if a chess variant were all these to one person, they will not apply to yet the next.

What "doesn't make sense" to you could be clear as a bell and the "most fun thing to have ever been invented" to another.
with due respect, tell me which ones i didnt talk about and ill explain

I know even you aren't that unintelligent.
You could have simply acted like a grownup and learn to own being wrong (instead of goofily taking it as some personal attack where none was made), but nope.
Any other puerile and foolish attempts at a mirror comeback, young middle-schooler?

I want to talk about what is the best topic in which somebody asks what is the best variant.
Here's my top 6:
Which is the best chess variant?
Which is the best chess variant ?
What is the best Chess variant?
What is the best chess variant ?
We can also compare topics in which someone asks what is the worst. But there's currently only one of them so not much to discuss

@oiiaiaoiiia Your remark "With due respect, tell me what I missed and I'll explain" came off as in-your-face and rashly sarcastic. Point being is that I already answered that very question. You originally stated that you addressed all the point that people have made, and yet, it seems you haven't considered mine:
that there are no "worst" variants. That concept is fruitless and holds no universal value; since everyone's definition of what is "worst" is different from each other, and there is no standard that is (nor could be) inherently agreed upon by every single chess player as to what would rightfully qualify as "the worst".
When you throw my own line back at me, "With due respect" as a counter-response, it shows that you were attempting to challenge me simply because you didn't like that I had a credible counter-reply that you may not have thought about before.
I realize that my post came off a little strong and barbed, and I am sorry about that. But, perhaps this is an opportunity for you to reflect on how certain things you say could come off to people.
yeah i kinda didnt talk about that cuz it would close the whole thematic but yeah which variant is better really depends on your opinion about what is good id argue it being fun is the main factor and id say duck chess is the worst cuz its no fun to me but to someone else it might be different whats your take?

The worst chess variant is hobby horsing. Hardly any chess variant addict considers playing it.
I understand that one needs to consider philosophical aspects like the reason behind it, deep human emotions and bla bla.
But let's be realistic, until somebody convinces me otherwise, I'll stick to this conclusion.
I follow gothamchess and to be honest I have developed a disdain for chess960 now. Literally almost all he's covering now and to be honest have no interest in seeing top GMs playing it as some sort of advertisement for such fake chess. I'm interested in Magnus/Hans Neimann/Hikaru..etc breaking records in normal games. Tired of seeing one of those idi0tic starting positions and bizarre castling rules when the standard starting position has been shown to generate the most interesting openings and gameplay. There's a reason the starting positions is what it is. I used to think it was one of the more realistic reasonable variants but to be honest it has fallen so far down the list with the current obsession over it.

are you not tired of the same theory being played over and over again, i know the starting position is the best but we studied it so much that it became boring
Not sure why I just got the notification for this thread now, but no I don't mind that because that's just it, we've studied it so much yet there's still soo much more to study, so many interesting variations/gambits/counterattacks/sidelines/weird merging of different openings/30+ move deep analysis..etc. I love it, and I don't even study openings much.
ok ill consider all of the things that were said
