Hello everyone! I was wondering if I could get some feedback as to your favorite chess variants, and thoughts about chess variants.
There are different types of variants.
One type involves the same board, same pieces, but different rules.
Another type involves the same board but different pieces.
There is a type with a different board but same pieces.
And then there are games inspired by chess with both different pieces and a different board.
What would you look for in a good game that is similar to chess?
What elements from chess would you like to preserve in a variant? Tactical play, positional play or both?
What elements would you like to add in a variant? More complex board? Different types of pieces? New rules? New movements? Maybe elements from other games?
