Risk
Fun game, but not a variant of chess.
...it's also a game of chance working with dice, what more similarity do you want?

What? Chess is not in any way a game of luck.
Risk also involves diplomacy, which, except for offering and accepting draws, doesn't happen in chess.
I use tarot cards to analyse a chess position. After that I use my intuitive sense to paint a picture using microsoft paint.
It's also a board game, and you can win by following your intuition, and by skill (i.e. reading tarot cards)
Loser's Chess :)
Isn't that called suicide?
No, Losers and Suicide are two different variants. In Losers Chess the normal rules for check and mate apply, you are not allowed to expose your King to capture, and resolving check has priority over making a capture. In Suicide the King is just a normal piece, and you can even promote to it (which is frequently the best choice). There is a subtle difference between Suicide and Giveaway in how they treat stalemate (in one case the stalemated side always wins, in the other case the one with the fewest pieces wins).
