Chess varients! [poll]

Question

Alright, y'all, I'll be defining several common chess varients (so not chess itself), and I'll leave y'all to choose your favorites.

Have fun!

Shogi- a Japanese version of chess played on a 9x9 board with differing rules.

Xiangqi- commonly referred to as Chinese chess, the pieces are played on the intersections of the tiles, functions wildly different from traditional chess.

Sittuyin- this one's very interesting. So, it starts out with a few pawns, but you actually add on to it before you start so you can play with any configuration.

Janggi- looks and plays very similarly to Chinese chess but has a few differences (Korean).

Chaturanga- Indian, but plays very similarly to traditional chess.

I know that there are a lot more varients, and I might update this, but these are all the ones I've learned so far.

Answer 1

I know there’s a variant where the starting layout of the different chess pieces are random. I forgot what it’s called though.

I believe that's called chess960, it shuffles the first row of pieces on the chessboard into one of the 960 possible arrangements.
