Here is a list of chess variants that are popular in the chess.com forums: Historical Variants: -Chu Shogi: Many games -Xiangqi: Not many games Chess Variants: -Chess on an Infinite Plane: Many games -Bulldog Chess: Many games Please let me know if I missed anything!

I know this club is pretty much dead but I will try to see if someone replies this is the initial position of the variant: And there are the pieces: King: the king on this variant moves the same as regular chess but it can also move 2 squares vertically or horizontally (without capturing, can’t jump over pieces) Pawn: the pawns on this variant are a lot strong than the pawns in regular chess, they move the same as regular chess but they also can always move 2 squares forward, they can capture 1 square straight forward and they can move 1 square horizontally (move only) Ship: a Rook with different name and appearanceElephant: moves and captures like a bishop but it cant move or capture 1 square diagonally, it can also move 1 square vertically or horizontally and then 2 squares diagonally on that same direction (move only, can’t jump over pieces)Carriage: Wazir + Xiangqi HorseWarrior: moves like a Camel but it also can jump 3 squares vertically or horizontally (can’t move or jump 1 or 2 squares horizontally or vertically) captures the same way as it movesRhino: Wazir + Bishop + KnightBull: Rook + Knight + FerzActress: combines Queen, Xiangqi Horse and the Camel version of the Xiangqi Horse (the Camel version of the Xiangqi Horse moves 2 squares vertically or horizontally and then 1 square diagonally)Pawn Promotion: Pawns promote to Ship, Elephant, Carriage, Warrior and Emperor on the 12th Rank (for white) and 1st Rank (for Black) The Emperor Combines King, Knight and Alibaba Stalemate: Stalemated player loses Threefold Repetition: the player who started the repetition loses Castling: on this variant castling just makes the king and the ship switch places (literally), the conditions for castling are: 1: the ship must not be under attack 2: the ship must not have moved before 3: the king must not have moved before 4: there’s must be no pieces between the king and the ship Pieces Value: Actress: 14 Bull: 9 Rhino: 8 Emperor: 7 Ship: 5 Elephant, Warrior and Carriage: 3 Pawn: 1 Notation of the pieces: Actress: A Bull: B Carriage: C Elephant: E Emperor: M King: K Pawn: P Rhino: R Ship: S Warrior: W

This club is redundant; and much of the information that I put in the forums here could easily be transferred to a forum thread. Any thoughts on this?

Hello, just thought i'd let you guys know that I found a cool chess website where you can play all sorts of variants. here's the link: https://greenchess.net/index.php

If anyone wants to play, just tell me. I can mod the games and the tournament.

So recently I stumbled across this server online that lets you play variants like capablanca, grand, crazyhouse, shogi, and xiangqi. It has a interface similar to |L|I|C|H|E|S|S| (slightly encoded for moderator reasons), and it's pretty advanced. Try it here. See here for a sample game. Note: I am not posting this in the public forum since the mods might think it's a "competitor site."

I've recently discovered that you can play games with fairy pieces in them in 4 player and recently I've just been creating variants and playing them. There's actually a lot of pieces to choose from, and I think we could create some of the correspondence variants in 4 player and play them live.
