So, anyways, name me some of the variants you wanna play.
'Alice Chess', 'Seirawan Chess', 'Omega Chess', 'Crazyhouse', 'Gothic Chess', 'Neutral King Chess' and a few others! 
Cool.
The only two variants I think that are worth playing is Chess960 and another type of game that I play almost every day with my friends, but I don't know, how it's called in english, it's the one that you're playing in teams and you can put on the board whichever piece your teammate captures. Could someone tell me how i'ts called?

What you are playing is bughouse. It's 4 players at a time right?
Yeah it's Bughouse, while Crazyhouse is Bughouse for two players.
I'm playing chess960 (FisherRandom) so regulary, that I stoped thinking of it as a variant! 
chess variants? lol don't invite paul morphy. That would be unfair!
Of course I doubt we'll see it happen, but I'd absolutely love it if there was a way to play shogi (japanese chess) here.

It would be interesting, however other chess sites like freechess.com and online chess and chessmaster support chess

Not that I think variants will be added to the site any time soon, but my vote would be for 960. Bughouse and Crazyhouse seem far too difficult to impliment and are much farther away from standard chess. 960 simply eliminates opening theory.

Gothic Chess would also be quite interesting.
I like the concept of 10 x 8 chess with the extra two pieces (I cut & glued some pieces and boards from two cheap chess sets to make a Capablanca chess set), but honestly, the commerciality of Gothic Chess bothers me.
It's certainly an intriguing 10x8 starting position (in most historical archbishop + chancellor variants, not all the pawns are protected, as they are in orthodox chess), but it seems increasingly absurd that the starting position is copyrighted. There would have to be a legal contract of some sort to even allow chess.com to use that starting position.
As far as I'm aware, there exist no such legal limitations on Carrera, Bird, or Capablanca chess, as well as Capablanca Random Chess (which can generate any of the other mentioned variants, except Gothic Chess, legally).
Furthermore, I wouldn't want to slander anyone, but I'd recommend checking out this wikipedia discussion page on the inventor of Gothic Chess sometime.

Seirawan Chess (which is essentially Capablanca chess on an 8x8 board) and Fischer Random.
I tried this one recently, and I loved it! Too bad that there are no online place to play this variant(that I know of). :(
Chess960 is just great, I often play it with my friends.
