I've recently created a Play By Email (PBEM) chess game that has regular chess, along with three variants. It has been designed primarily to be displayed / played on a smart phone, although it works on a desktop.

Game Variants

  1. Dark Chess - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_chess
  2. Balanced Chess - Dark chess visibility applied only to the player with a score difference exceeding a set threshold (e.g. Black 1, White 5, Difference 4).
  3. Timed Chess - Game switches between dark chess visibility and standard chess visibility every x turns.

Additional rules on the About page of the site.

There is no AI or open challenge system, and I'm not sure whether I intend on building one or not. You'd have to know the other person to start a game (email or set display name).

Note: Be aware that this is costing me money to run, so I may pull it down if it gets too costly or is abused. I just wanted to share with the community.
