Chess Variants Fans! 

Join this club to learn about and discuss all things non-traditional chess. Whether you're a hardcore variant player or just looking to spice up your game, we have something for everyone. 

From known ones like Chess960 and Bughouse to some of the newer ones like 3D Chess and Fog of War Chess, this club has the resources and experts on every variant. Interested in making a new variant? We're all ears if you are creative and have a fun twist on chess. 

Ready to mix it up? Join us, and let's have some fun.
