Connected Chess is quite fun, quite tactical -- Isolate to eliminate.
I was playing another one of Troyka's games the other day, Double Agent Chess, similar to Benedict Chess except the attacked piece always flips to the opposite color.
And I had the humiliating experience of checkmating myself (flipping my own king) on the first move. I lost without my opponent having to make a single move!
1. Nf3 was the losing move. May be a good practical joke to play on Kramnik. 'But, Vladimir, did you not know this is a Double Agent Chess tournament?'
