Personal thoughts on variants:

Chess - Good Lord make it stop.

Chinese Chess - Very bizarre, can't quite wrap my head around it, not really a fan.

Shogi - Terrific game, has a lot more depth to it than at first glance.Would like to get better and learn some openings.

Corner Chess - Too much like chess to be interesting.

Fortress Chess - Also too chessy. Although the extra pawns spice it up a little bit.

Horde Chess - Bad game. Easy forced win for white.

Loop Chess - Used to play this a lot back in the day, although when promoted pieces got captured they reverted back to pawns, which I prefer.
In this it makes it a lot harder to commit to pawn probing attacks.

Anti Chess - Fun. although feels kinda weird to play it in a super slow setting.

Extinction Chess - Like chess, but the rules set makes for some oddly frustrating and interesting play at the same time.

Maharajah Chess - Bad. Easy forced win for black.

Three Checks Chess - Fun, although having white is a massive advantage. I guess it can be offset by match play, but not too many people are into that.

Dark Chess - Fun, although it takes way too much effort too make logical decisions. Having to keep looking over the moves and piece them together. So now I just play random decent looking moves heh. Also has a cool psychological factor too it.

Atomic Chess- Don't like it, I feel like it should be a forced win for white. Most of what matters in it is memorizing openings.

Janus Chess - An enjoyable pure chess variant.

Embassy Chess- An enjoyable pure chess variant.

Screen Chess and Crazy Screen Chess - Too much like chess, and too much luck factor not knowing your opponents setup.

Cylinder Chess - Too weird for me to even attempt.

Amazon Chess - Too much like chess, Many positions seem to boil down to Amazon trades.

Berolina Chess - A little too weird for me, although I've played a few.

Fischer Random Chess - Too much like chess.

Legan Chess - A little too weird for me also.

Knight Relay Chess - Really odd ruleset. Probably the most frustrating out of all of them, but for some reason it's fun to play.

Grand Chess - The ultimate pure chess expansion. Very cool.

Capablanca Random Chess - Not much point, Embassy chess is already good enough.

Los Alamos Chess - I like the claustrophobic feeling you get with it. My gut tells me this is a forced win for white, but don't ask me to prove it lol.

Ambiguous Chess - Never going to think about double coverage on 1 square the same way again lol.

Mini Shogi - Fun little shogi diversion. Although I think this may be a forced draw.

Dice Chess - They don't mix.

Recycle Chess - A weird offshoot of loop chess that makes little sense.

Ice Age Chess - Interesting for sure. Games take a long time.

Behemoth Chess - Downright idiotic lol.

Chesire Cat Chess - Very Weird. Feels like I'm in zugzwang from move 1.

Knightmare Chess - Fun, especially the dynamic of using your king as a weapon early.

Racing Kings - Probably a forced win for white, and not so much a difficult one at that.

Massacre Chess - Huge advantage to white. Fun though, takes a lot of calculation.

Go - Incredible game, one of the most if not the most complex in terms of strategic and tactical thinking.

Go 13x13 - Prefer bigger board, for bigger strategy.

Go 9x9 - Same as above, and the komi isn't big enough, black has an advantage.

Tablut - Good stuff. I feel like it should be a forced win for white, but proving it is an entirely different matter. Best done with match play.

Tank Battle - I feel like I haven't really had a solid game with anybody yet. So far it's been fun.

Amazons - Arrow shooting queens, what's not to love? Kind of reminds me of some old puzzle games.

Break Through - Fun, theoretically a forced win for white, although plenty of room for black for win.

Those are pretty much the only ones that interest me as of now. Might pick up a couple more later.

Happy Gaming All.
Good Luck and, Enjoy.
