Bughouse and Crazyhouse are literally the worst variants

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. 

lol

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.

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.

I meant "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

Here is a group of Patzers playing bughouse.  That guy at the top right is the biggest one!!

 @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! 

I was there that night! it was a blast!

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