what is the worst chess variant?

ok ill consider all of the things that were said

chaturaji is DEFINETELY not the worst one but you will need to learn some first-move theory cuz the king is exposed at the start so i see why people dont like it 3/10 pick for the worst

The Jungle on the other hand is very understandable as its basically just take the greens and claim win so the only way to make it fun is bullet. not chess tho at all 8/10 pick

king of the hill is also NOT the one to hate. at lower level of course you just bring the king and win but at higher level the game mostly ends at the endgame there is a lot of tactics that are cool imo so 2/10 pick

duck chess aaand i see the vision now! this duck makes bullet and fast blitz unplayable and rapid is just not fun 9/10 pick duck chess is not fun

three-check&atomic chess why are they together? suz they are basically the same

look like normal chess but totally aren't if you aren't good at it you lose basically every single game you play im good at threecheck but suck at atomic so from one side perfect game 1/10 pick from the other side 10/10 pick so yeah its a 5/10 pick for both

progressive chess. tbh it seems to me you dont know what it is because your turn ends once you give a check so theres no quick mate i wish it was on chesscom 2/10 pick

giveaway is just wrong its a cool unique variant ik its too forced but you gotta predict man also 4 player giveaway is sooo fun

chess960 is for people who hate learning openings/tired of opponents knowing everything

for people who love studiyng openings 5/10 or people who dont 1/10 pick on avg 3/10 pick

With due respect, you didn't.

i hate 3 check

its littarly whoever goes first can sack Everything for 3 checks no skill at atll

The worst is the one where you're trying to lose all of your pieces.

If that was a real game, I'm sure there's meaning to it; just like any chess game.

thats because you are bad at it

with due respect, tell me which ones i didnt talk about and ill explain

I know even you aren't that unintelligent.

You could have simply acted like a grownup and learn to own being wrong (instead of goofily taking it as some personal attack where none was made), but nope.

Any other puerile and foolish attempts at a mirror comeback, young middle-schooler?

dude what i just want to explain all the ones i missed

this isnt some kind of comeback i just want to talk about what i didnt write in there before

why do YOU think what i say is an attack on you im here to talk ok so lets talk instead of fighting over nothing like unintelligent monkeys you tell me i missed something say what that something is i tell you my opinion on that something. sounds like something intelleged people do to me

I want to talk about what is the best topic in which somebody asks what is the best variant.

Here's my top 6:

We can also compare topics in which someone asks what is the worst. But there's currently only one of them so not much to discuss

@oiiaiaoiiia Your remark "With due respect, tell me what I missed and I'll explain" came off as in-your-face and rashly sarcastic. Point being is that I already answered that very question. You originally stated that you addressed all the point that people have made, and yet, it seems you haven't considered mine:

that there are no "worst" variants. That concept is fruitless and holds no universal value; since everyone's definition of what is "worst" is different from each other, and there is no standard that is (nor could be) inherently agreed upon by every single chess player as to what would rightfully qualify as "the worst".

When you throw my own line back at me, "With due respect" as a counter-response, it shows that you were attempting to challenge me simply because you didn't like that I had a credible counter-reply that you may not have thought about before.

I realize that my post came off a little strong and barbed, and I am sorry about that. But, perhaps this is an opportunity for you to reflect on how certain things you say could come off to people.

yeah i kinda didnt talk about that cuz it would close the whole thematic but yeah which variant is better really depends on your opinion about what is good id argue it being fun is the main factor and id say duck chess is the worst cuz its no fun to me but to someone else it might be different whats your take?

I hate fog war

The worst chess variant is hobby horsing. Hardly any chess variant addict considers playing it.

I understand that one needs to consider philosophical aspects like the reason behind it, deep human emotions and bla bla.
But let's be realistic, until somebody convinces me otherwise, I'll stick to this conclusion.

I follow gothamchess and to be honest I have developed a disdain for chess960 now. Literally almost all he's covering now and to be honest have no interest in seeing top GMs playing it as some sort of advertisement for such fake chess. I'm interested in Magnus/Hans Neimann/Hikaru..etc breaking records in normal games. Tired of seeing one of those idi0tic starting positions and bizarre castling rules when the standard starting position has been shown to generate the most interesting openings and gameplay. There's a reason the starting positions is what it is. I used to think it was one of the more realistic reasonable variants but to be honest it has fallen so far down the list with the current obsession over it.
