I have to be precise: I think Chess is not a VERY popular game in America,
but it is certainly played by a significative number of players. Chess
variants are less popular. I live in Venezuela, here some variants are
played eventually in certain circles, but the number of players of Chess
variants is relatively modest, perhaps of four or five hundred of persons
that sometimes play some variant. Not all known variants are played,
fundamentally these people plays Grand Chess and/or Ultima, and in less
proportion, Omega Chess, and in the last times, I have seen people playing
Rococo, with Mirror Array, and these persons are part of the ULTIMA fans.
How many persons?. The real fans of Rococo may be two or three decens, and
the game may have been played at least once by, say, between one and two
hundred, It is my stimation. Is it popular?. Well, it depends how are you
measuring the things. Chess Variants are NOT very popular, so perhaps
these number means 'relative popularity', although I´m not sure to apply
this qualificative ...
