I am guessing you are not very good at either?

So don't play them instead of having a tantrum.

Calm down Tommy, just take your medications, it will be fine.

Relax, it is just for fun. Bughouse is very entertaining actually.

As a high school chess club sponsor/coach, I initially worried that Bughouse was going to hurt our team performances.  But it turned out to be more good than bad.  Chess is so much a one-person game that I found Bughouse was a great way to build team or club spirit.  When your partner says to you, "I need a Knight!" and you sac your Queen to get him one, there's a lot of psychological bonding involved!

I did limit bughouse to the first hour of the club's 2-3 hr meetings on days we didn't have a NM or other guest speaker - games reaching a fever pitch would draw crowds around them and we weren't getting enough of the serious practice we needed.

King of the hill has gotta be the best variant for learning purposes in terms of control

3 check is about who can make the most retarded  moves, like the house variants

Exactly! This guy understands me

These variants are not chess- but they are a lot of fun to play with friends and family. Who wants to play a long, slow chess game while the rest of the party watches when everyone could do one huge crazy bughouse game!

It's true-you don't need thinking all you need is strategy and experience.

Indeed they are different from the standard game, so different that I doubt if it still should be considered as a "variant". But because it is so, one shouldn't call them "2 variants only patzers excel at", that's like calling English language a French variant and calling English a language only stiff tongue can speak

 @Morphysrevenges Sorry to hear it--I stopped playing online chess due to a lot of arrogant jerks playing it.  I think it has to do with the online environment (they can hide behind the computer and say whatever with little consequence)  

 

I'll partner you and give pointers--and if you can improve my game--I'll listen to that!

See, this can't be the "worst" variant, look at them! Much more vibrant with teamwork and all
