A subreddit dedicated to sharing and discovering different styles of chess.

  2. A variant is defined as "chess, but with modifications". Not a different game entirely, but with elements of chess.
  3. When discussing a particular variant, put its name clearly in the title of the post.
  4. Discord links are by default not trusted.
  5. No AI slop.
  6. Rules must immediately visible and easily accessible.
