Chess.com should add more variants to live chess, like chess960, antichess, etc.

This is an idea I had for a while. I want to see what everyone else thinks of it... Thanks! :)

They said they might do so in V3--in V3 they already have Chess960, I believe

they have 960, but nobody plays it

Well they want to play "real chess", the variants can get over-exaggerated and can become ridiculous.

Personally, it doesn't affect m that they don't have Live Chess variants.

YES!!! They have responded to me!

erik also mentioned in his "ask me almost anything" topic that there will likely be other variants but he wasn't saying which ones 

 

I seem to recall a post about them being tested by staff but I think that post has since been deleted.

My timing couldn't be much worse. Looks like some other variations were enabled recently. See erik's post, 189

If you want to play 960 (or 3 check, king of the hill, or crazyhouse), then go to the new Chess.com (you can get there with this link: www.chess.com/switch ). And then in live chess, click to open your options:

Since this was originally posted in December of 2015 .... your post is a little late happy.png

 

@Chessisfunforme, 960 is the only variant you can play against the computer.

lol Like Martin said, at the time of me making this forum, the only variant was chess960, the others hadn't been created yet.
