A new nomination for a featured variant:

Separate Realms Chess by Mike Nelson and Peter Aronson.

Quote from the comments section: "A few simple rules changes have produced what is definitely a tournament-quality game." (Joe Joyce)

It has inspired two more chessvariants of myself which are among my favorites.

Here's my next nomination.

This nomination is a bid to push the envelope of recognised Chess Variants:

Jupiter (revised) by Adrian King

A variant on a really huge board with lot of different pieces and an overwhelming number of promotions.

Or, to say it with the words of its inventor "Everything worth doing is worth overdoing"

... and now for something completely different:

Smess

Still in the childhood memory of many people, and it is real fun to play. It also has inspired some more Smess Variants here.

Yet another nomination:

Makruk

It is marked as recognised in the alphabetical index, but it has not yet been featured or recognised variant of the month. It is still the second most popular board game in Thailand (after Thai checkers).

Rook.

Moves across unobstructed orthogonal line.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I tested it and it happened to me, too. I used shift-Reload (on Firefox) to bypass the cache, and voilà, the newest comments are also here.
