I just played my first game of randomized Chess960 recently and I've gotta say I'm really enjoying it. I can use everything I know about chess and the heavy burden of opening theory is gone. Thank you, Bobby Fischer, for such a brilliant variant!

Checkers is undoubtedly the best chess variant. Although I also like Monopoly, Risk and Cluedo.

Checkers is an excellent game indeed. However, it's complicated nature tends to intimidate me. This is why I prefer it's less complicated variant Chess. I'm hoping by playing Chess I will improve my pattern recognition, and be able to graduate to the more complex game of Checkers. The other 3 games you mentioned are in no way Chess variants. I'm assuming this was just a bit of jestful writing done by you to add colour to the thread. Anyway thanks for the input.

Now that you mention it, some days ago I wrote a thread discussing why checkers was better than its variant, chess.

Very good read, chess is the oppressor of the masses.
Do you guys believe that certain variants of chess are more exciting than regular chess?
I for one like to play Backgammon. I think it's Chess' oldest variant, and I actually find it more exciting, and enjoyable than chess. I have not yet tried other variants like Chess 969, or Hexagon chess.
Please share your experiences with Chess variants.
