Game Courier supports many different games. Here is one picked at random:
Center of Attention - FIDE Chess but with an additional winning condition: Move your king unchecked into a center square.

Checkless Chess

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Checkless Chess here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Origin unknown. Known during the 1800's. You may check only to give checkmate. The program has a bug -- it will not notice if a king escapes checkmate by a move that would illegally check the other king. Sorry.

2008-01-03Dracobest UnverifiedGoodNice game, that's quite a challenge when we're used to do a whole lot of checks to finish to a checkmate. But, when you said it doesn't detect a check made by a king that escapes checkmate... It also doesn't detect check by the rook.View [*]
