Game Courier supports many different games. Here is one picked at random:
Ecumenical Chess - Ecumenical Chess features three variants with camel-bishop, camel-rook knight-camel compounds.

Omega Chess

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

This is a very well-conceived large-board variant. It is available commercially from my cyberfriend, Daniel C. Macdonald of Canada.

Pieces move as in regular chess. Pawns may advance 1, 2 or 3 squares on their initial moves, and be captured en passant.

There are two new pieces.

Champion 2,2 or 2,0 or 1,0 leaper

Wizard 3,1 or 1,1 leaper. Note that this piece is color-bound.
