These chess variants are derived from chess by changing the board, board setup, pieces, or rules. Many variants employ standard chess rules and mechanics, but vary the starting position of the pieces or number of pieces.
I'll never be a great chess player, but I have my moments. I like to play vote chess and also daily chess but like to keep the maximum number of daily games I have going on at once at ten games so I can have adequate time to determine my best course of action. All those daily games are for clubs I'm in.
I don't like chess variants like 960 or King of the Hill etc because the way I see it I have my hands full with regular chess and I need to concentrate on that. I tried to like bullet chess but came to realize I can't stand it because I don't have enough time to think about my moves. Blitz is alright, rapid is nice and daily is my favorite.
I accept all friend requests but I've began to curtail accepting invitations to clubs because I've got plenty to do with my involvement in clubs I already belong to. You can send me a club invite if you want but I will probably decline, don't take it personally.
If you want to join the club I founded, Paradise Chess Club, click on the link below. We are a laid back club that uses the concept of 'paradise' loosely to mean anything that brings us joy, which in our club can be some pretty weird things sometimes.
