Wildebeest Chess. Variant on an 10 by 11 board with extra jumping pieces. (11x10, Cells: 110) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This game is really something! To me the best large variant of chess! WHY is it not a recongnized variant yet???? :-)
Mideast chess. Variant on 10 by 10 board, inspired by ancient Tamerlane chess. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I do like this game, although the Cavalier is a very 'irregular piece'. I propose to replace it's movement by the one of the Croocked Bishop! This would produce a very enjoyable game, don't you agree? :-)) The other pieces, I believe, are well balanced for 10x10 board, and the fact that Knights depart from the 2nd row turns them more valuable in the opening and during the rest of the game (a problem with other 10x10 board variants that place them on the 1st row!). Please comment me on this to: [email protected]
ximeracak.. A leaper-heavy fantasy variant designed for play with a standard set. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]What an interessing game! One that I will probably try to convince my friends to play with! :-)

Phoenix / Waffle. A piece which has the combined movements of the Wazir and the Alfil.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This piece is called a CALIPH by chess problemists, as you can see in http://www.ktn.freeuk.com/9a.htm#(3). A suitble name for it's Arabe origins (Wazir + Alfil). Also there, you can check out some other compound piece names made from joining 2 simple pieces...
Shatranj. The widely played Arabian predecessor of modern chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The rules of chess in medieval europe (king's leap, 'passar bataglia', free castling, etc) could also have a page of their, own explaining it's evolution...
It could be introduced an page on your historical variants pages about the diferent nuances of medieval chess, its evolution and particular rules to this or that country through the centurys, wich are now not in use or used diferently... :-)

Modern Kamil. Two variants that add the Camel to the standard Orthochess array on enlarged boards. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hello! The zillions link is misspeled. I't is kamIl not kamEl. I copyed the path, paste it on the explorer adress bar, changed the E to an I and pressed enter... It worked fine!

Two Kingdoms. A decimal variant with a more powerful knight, and an added Archer piece. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Hello!
