About Weird Chess

Check out Weird Chess! Like using tapatillo instead of ketchup, but for chess. Choose from 12+ variants across two board sizes — and more on the way. Each variant with its own rules, strategy, and personality. 8×8 Variants Standard Chess — classic rules, plus an attacking pigeon that randomly moves your or your opponent's pieces. Atomic Chess — where pieces trying to capture each other create mutually assured destruction. Chess960 — 960 different randomised starting positions for all pieces. 3-Check — one checkmate not enough? With this variant, you need 3 checks to win. King of the Hill — race your king to the centre and declare yourself lord of all you see. Horde Chess — face the barbarian horde - or be it! 36 white pawns vs a standard black army Fog of War — you can only see the squares your pieces attack. 10×10 Variants Grand Chess — the pomp and circumstance of war, with a Marshal and a Cardinal in the royal courtly mix. Omega Chess — go to war with an additional champion and a wizard. One does not simply walk! Decimal Chess — a falcon and a hunter make your game a little stranger. Hyderabad Chess — one of the earliest historic forms of actual ancient chess. Jetan Chess — a form of chess created for the science fantasy classic Chessman of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Every move is narrated by an AI commentator with a unique personality — from the composed Classical analyst to the chaos-loving Random Pigeon. Find your way and shake up your chess habits with some different kinds of play.
