tangram: The Joker sounds like the Chameleon in Ultima. Does the Joker capture the piece that it is capturing in the manner of that piece's movement? The Magician sounds like the Immobilizer. If it keeps a piece from moving just by being next to it, that's what the Immobilizer is. Very strong piece and it cannot capture.
I've never heard of Khan Chess or Super Chess. That does seem like a fast time control for a tournament, especially with even more pieces and larger board size.

Walter Montego:Yes like the chameleon. 15 minuten is much too vast. I Will not repeat that in the next tournament.
Super chess has been around for more than 15 years. Every year there is a championship. See also www.superchess.nl
Khan chess is an experimental new chess variant. You win also if the khan ( king) reaches the last row. You begin with an empty board and put the pieces one by one. Slight different rules for the pawn. Www.khanchess.com for more info ( in English)
