Check out Symmetric Chess, our featured variant for March, 2024.

Pixelpusher variant: Centerless chess

A not-often player chess variant is Centerless chess. Here, the four squares in the center cannot be used. The applet below plays this variant against you, but does it very badly: it just selects a random move.

This only works with Java enabled browsers.
