According to my opinion:Most fun: Atomic , Rookmate , Amazon Jungle , ChaturangaBest for improving regular chess: Chess 960 , Sideways pawns , Capture anythingMost Eccentric: Fog of War , Self partnering , Best Friends ForeverMost Complex: XXL Chess , 4 player chessNot fun or improving at all: Racing Kings , Giveaway , Elimination Chess
I would also love a comparative evaluation and rating of the following: Shogi, Xiangqi, Janggi, Khmer, Makruk, Sittuyin, and any other ancient relatives.
I like Chaturaji better than its 'big brother' 4-player Chess, both are extremely funny, however the latter has the board too large, let's stay on a standard chessboard, I think it's better… Atomic is just 'atomic' in all sense, but I feel like I'm dis-learning Chess when I play it. Blindfold is pretty hard, but very very teaching in my opinion. Chaturanga is a beautiful game, likely even more strategic than modern Chess but a bit hard to understand in deep, not something you got the feeling at the first game… Yes, I agree on Petrified being the worst! 🙂
Great idea for a video — tiered chess variant rankings! Thank you! I will check out your other videos, but a some other variants I've heard of and would like to hear your thoughts about: Metamachy, Bulldog, Bollwerk 178, Superchess, Grand, Musketeer, Janus, Antichess, Crazyhouse
And bughouse isn’t very complex to me
I reckon chess960 is good for improving regular chess

I have 6 chess variants. I want to make them playable online. Is there a software to help me make this happen?
