Use dice or draw a card to determine whether a pawn or piece is moved.  OR, have the loser play Russian Roulette.  In case of a draw, fight to the death with salad forks.

Not so sure about the salad forks, but I Like the idea of adding dice.  When the game is based on pure skill, as it is now, I tend to be at a disadvantage.  

But throw in some Dice that determine every other move, and I can just hear myself now, saying  "Hah!!  Take That, Magnus Carlsen, you "loser" ..... oh, yeah, Mr. "Champion," you heard me right ...."

(Actually, I'd probably just say "Thanks for the game.  Can I have your autograph?")

Something involving dancing or fencing....

You can't capture a piece. You only bump the piece off of the square. For example: e4, d4, exd5(Basically the pawns just traded squares or spots). I am not sure if this is strange but it does make the game somewhat complex thinking on how to obtain checkmate.

What about throwing the pieces out of a window you capture!

DeathCon:Just like DEFCON you can launch real nuclear missiles.

The game starts in this position. White is down 8 pawns, but he can obtain compensation after 1.Bxf7+.

Why would I capture a window?  Seems like a really weird thing to do.  But we are discussing weird stuff, so I guess it kind of makes sense ... in a weird way ... Even so, I gotta say it sounds awful weird to me....

My apology, motherinlaw, I write the sentence again...

How about shooting the captured pieces.

All the pieces & the board should be made of chocolates! The players will eat the pieces which they capture! The winner will eat the rest pieces & the board!

Avatar of Ironman111

Everything should be explosives.If you capture collide the captured piece and the capturing piece together really hard.You will be surprised.

Avatar of winerkleiner

How about to check your dexterity, everytime you capture a piece, you must throw it in the air and clap 3 times, if you drop it, you must put it back.

If you win,you get to clean your opponent's penis.

chessfencing, like chessboxing but with a strip.  All 3 weapons alternately.

Queen cannot deliver mate directly.

9th rank & I-file housing extra pawn and a 9th piece, which could have many 'alternative settings'... piece could be referred to as the 'app', or even, the 'stem'.  In fact this might be a great phone chess variant.  If anyone makes it happen, I want my 10%!
