My favorite is when black plays against white with only a king and knight, but can make two moves in his turn.
amazingly, with only two pieces, black wins 100% of the times. (try it out yourself, its amazing)
i know this is'nt the answer you expected, but it is awesome
I like normal chess best, but 960 is sometimes fun.
My favorite time control is slow time controls where you can actually think and play chess. 45|45 is a nice one.
Standard chess, 90 30 time control.
what about bughouse?
One thing I'd like to try is that variant (can't remember the name) where you have a lone king against your opponent's full set, but your king can move like all the other pieces combined, like a queen and can jump like a knight.
progressive White gets one move Black two moves White three moves and so on. A check ends the series.
I like cavalier chess!
The pawns move like the keima in shogi.
The knights are nightriders.
The bishops can move like bishops mixed with knights.
The rooks can move like rook combined with knights too.
The queen is just a normal queen, and...
The king and move like a knight and a king.
i like bughouse and pawns
Weak!
