PASGL 312 Chess. Critters steal lunch in the forest, while trying to get close to the campfire and avoid the train. (Cells: 68) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Another subvariant would be to add a row on each side and superimpose The Game of the Trees.  Every piece can travel on grass, shrubbery, and trees equally (Perhaps a Shrew in the trees can't be squashed, or a Deer can eat grass and shrubbery...).  Other than movement, trees would block everything.  Just a suggestion.

Update (like six hours later): Perhaps This Game is for the Birds could be worked in too...  The Ultimate Outdoor Trifecta Chess would be very strange indeed...

Neptune. A strange Chesslike game that was found in January of 2019. (Cells: 271) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I thought it was one of the best battle variants I've seen.

Random Wormhole Chess. Introduces "wormholes" and "toroidal" movement in a fun and manageable way. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I like it. It isn't the same at all as other wormhole variants.

Incredible idea!  The only question is what should come next...

Penta War. Huge game with five clans. (17x17, Cells: 319) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I like it.  Two things to note.

1. Could a Queen push the last Pawn onto the last enemy pawn, which on the last rank, promoting it and tying the game?

2. You should make a fun variant with different armies for the clans.

Jupiter. Huge chess variant on 16 by 16 board. (16x16, Cells: 256) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Overly large, not every piece described, some incongruencies (ie. West and East General, also not represented.)

8/13/13: Wow.  Just wow.  That was harsh.  Why not pursue massive sizes of game?  But, still, you need to fix the lack of pieces!
