And in this variant pawns can promote to anything - you name it - BUT the pieces on board

I think that existed historically.

in bangladesh (or atleast the community i know) play the rules by promotion limited to being the pieces your opponent has captured

How about 'Nope Chess'. People play in a dark room while creepy imagery is projected on to the walls and ominous music is played over speakers. People randomly burst into the room and do inappropriate things every so often such as scream at the top of their lungs, speak gibberish, or rant about how aliens are after them.

Try not to blunder while 'Rectum' by Thomas Bangalter pounds through the walls.

Damn, now I want to actually play this. I'd absolutely love to play blitz while Bangalter blares and a strobe light flashes and some 200 pound guy screams for no reason. I don't even care if I come dead last, that would be fun.

Black can go first variant.

That results in a total of four starting scenarios:
- play White pieces and White goes first
- play White and Black goes first
- play Black and White goes first
- play Black and Black goes first

This opens up the possibility of a whole new class of openings with regular chess rules.

Javelin Chess
You can use your move to make your king throw a javelin at any piece, including yours, and pull the piece 2 squares to the king.
Another example:
MrBurger

Wizard Chess: A pawn is replaced with the wizard, a piece that moves by switching places with other pieces. If the king is in check or checkmate, the wizard cannot switch with the king.

MrBurger

Necromancy: Like crazyhouse, but the dropped pieces can be moved after a non-dropped piece is moved.

1. If it moves like a duck, it is a duck.

2. How does a minister move?

3. The chariot is the original rook.

4. That's the original elephant.

5. That's in Shogi.

The minister is a ferz... I think

Merge Chess: You can move one of your pieces on one of your other pieces and merge them. A new piece is obtained, moving like the two pieces you merged.

On the top is my puzzle to you guys. Find the easiest chess move, which can make the queen check my king, but the queen will also be stuck. I call this, the trading trademark gambit, also known as the Double T gambit. Also, please make a website for me to make my own variance but not like how chess.com does? Sorry chess.com.

Bounce Chess with an invisible Wall on e4 be like…….. 
capturing the king! 
ChessSandurAch3r

I made a mistake on the top message but pawn from e2 moves to e4 on an invisible wall moving to h4 and bouncing of the edge wall and captures the e7 pawn. The white pawn now gets an extra move by Magnus Carlsen so he moves to capture the bishop and the knight on g8 gets angry and pushes the pawn towards the king. The white pawn accidentally captures the black king, causing a pre-checkmate. The white pawn get ready be captured by the black queen. The black queen captures the white pawn. The white King starts to talk and roast the black queen. “ The pawn captured your husband and then you captured my pawn. So in that case, it means that you captured your husband!” says the white king to the black king. A cute little black pawn on d7 says, “That’s a roast! Everybody start laughing!” Everybody started laughing. 

Guys, continue the story please!

My chess variant is Box Chess! Here's how to play; the pieces have to stay in a 4 by 4 box. If a piece moves out of the box, it is out of the game. Your goal is to get the opponent's queen out. There are no captures, checkmates, or pawns. Pieces are like walls; no piece can get through them. Every piece moves like usual. There are only knights, bishops, and queens. I do not have a picture to show setup, so I will use keys on the keyboard to do it.

WQ = white queen

WK = white knight

WB = white bishop

BQ = black queen

BK = black knight

BB = black bishop

I = space

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I BB I BK I BQ I I

I I I I I

I I I I I

I IWQ IWK IWBI

Hopefully that made sense. But those are the rules of Box Chess.
