I would like to play Chinese chess (Xiangqi), the most played form of chess in the world, Japanese chess (Shogi), the most complex version of chess in the world, Korean chess (janggi), similar to Xiangqi, Thai/Combodian chess (Makruk), a form of chess played at a very high competition level, Shatranj, an ancient form of chess played 1000 years ago, or maybe even Mongolian chess (Shatar), a form of chess before the USSR.  Yeah, Chess960 and Bughouse are really fun, but I would like to see how I do with chess I'm not familiar with.  Side note: does anyone know where I can play online Go?

Not that I think variants will be added to the site any time soon, but my vote would be for 960. Bughouse and Crazyhouse seem far too difficult to impliment and are much farther away from standard chess. 960 simply eliminates opening theory.


Amen to that. I got excited looking through the support FAQ pages when i saw "How to castle in Chess 960" and assumed the site supports it. Too bad it doesn't - i think it's great for playing minus opening theory and working on tactics right from the start of the game.

  Saying that, I think fixing the disconnect issues in live chess would certainly take priority over introducing any variants.
