yes...i guess...seemed like the same meaning to me...

OK I AM WRONG ABOUT USING THE WORD "VARIATION" INSTEAD OF "VARIANT"...I didn't mean to start a connotative argument...

I just wanted to hear about chess VARIANTS...

bughouse is of course an ever popular variant
antichess is fun on an amature level but not worth investing time in too many forcing lines (for example i know that 1.e4 is a forced win for black).
atomic chess (as played on itsyourturn.com) is a lot of fun
i like darkchess (where you can only see your pieces and the squares they could move too.)
team chess (players on a team alternate moves without talking)
