It may be suitable to begin many tags with the word different. Here are some we could have
Different Pieces - A tag for games that include pieces not used in Chess
Different Powers of Movement - A tag for games in which some Chess pieces move differently than they do in Chess.
Different Board - A tag for games played on something other than the 8x8 Chess board
Different Board Shape - A tag for games whose boards are not squares, rectangles, or parallelograms
Different Cell Shape - A tag for games played on boards whose spaces are not squares
Different Topography - A tag for games whose boards are not merely 2D grids of spaces, including circular, cylindrical, torus, and multi-dimensional boards, though not boards that merely differ in cell shape.
Different Rules - A tag for games whose rules differ from those used in Chess
Different Manner of Setup - A tag for games that do not begin with all pieces on the board in fixed positions
Different Means of Capture - A tag for games that allow capture by means other than displacement or en passant
Different Outcome of Capture - A tag for games in which capture has other effects than merely the removal of the captured piece from the game.
Different Winning Conditions - A tag for games with different winning conditions than Chess.
Different Draw Conditions - A tag for games with different drawing conditions than Chess.
Different Kinds of Equipment - A tag for games that use equipment other than a board and pieces.
Different Number of Players - A tag for games played with fewer or more than 2 players.
Some of these might not be necessary and could be replaced with more particular tags. For example, "Multi-Player" probably works better than "Different Number of Players." For one-player variants, we could use a "Solitaire" tag, and that covers all possibilities for this one. Some of the most broad ones might be used to consolidate groups of more particular tags instead of being used for the games themselves.
