Daring & crazy variations on the game of chess.

If you're a fan of the game chess, you may find this interesting. A woman who could not sleep did her very best to come up with as many variations that she could create for the game of chess. Some of them are interesting. Some of them are downright crazy. But here is a Twitter thread, including all of the ones that she came up with. Let me know if you have a favorite or if you decide to play one of these variations

Wow, Christina, this is really interesting. I love some of these variants so creative, although some of them are totally unplayable. But I'd be curious to know how Broken Spawner works in reality, where you can only only have one captured piece at a time. When you capture the next one, you've got to put the previous one back on the board. I would think that game would have no end, that it would just keep going on and on and on. Interesting to try

I could see Broken Spawner being a longer game, but maybe maybe it could work. Like if you strategically planned which piece you were going to allow to be captured. I mean, you have to do it quite right, or they're going to see through it and not touch the piece. But if you can trap them into taking it, it sort of puts it into holding into a safe space until the next piece they capture
