The craziest thing about Xiangqi is that it has game lore based on the Chu-Han Contention, which happened in the 3rd century BC. They hadn’t invented gunpowder at that time, so the 砲/炮 pieces are actually catapults.

Good video. Hand and brain isn't quite right because if the brain announces the piece and location, that isn't a variant. They only announce the name of the piece and the hand has to guess the move and which piece they are thinking about.

what do you think of this variant? Rules for 10x10 Chess with Oracles 1. Board Setup The board is expanded to 10x10 squares. Each player has the standard pieces plus: Two additional pawns (for a total of 10). Two Oracles: One Oracle placed next to the king and one next to the queen, filling the new spaces created on the expanded board. 2. Movement of the Oracle The Oracle moves just like the queen in traditional chess: it can move diagonally, horizontally, or vertically across any number of squares. The Oracle provides an extra powerful attacking piece and control over the board, making it a key asset in this variant. 3. Queen’s Enhanced Movement In addition to the queen’s normal range of movements (diagonal, horizontal, vertical), the queen now also moves like a knight. This makes the queen the most versatile piece, combining long-range movement and the knight’s ability to jump over pieces. 4. Pawn Movement and Castling Rule When castling, if there is a pawn directly in front of the king, that pawn must move one square forward before castling is permitted. All other castling rules remain the same: the king moves two squares toward the rook, and the rook jumps over to the adjacent square. 5. Pawn Promotion to an Oracle When a pawn reaches the 10th rank, it can be promoted to any piece, including an Oracle. Players now have more options when promoting, and choosing an Oracle provides a piece with queen-like abilities. 6. Standard Movement for Other Pieces Rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns retain their usual movements and abilities. Pawns can still be promoted to traditional pieces (queen, rook, knight, bishop) or now to the Oracle. Winning Conditions The win conditions remain the same as standard chess: checkmate the opponent’s king or force a resignation or stalemate. Strategic Implications The larger board and extra pieces introduce new dimensions of strategy, especially with the possibility of having multiple powerful pieces (queens and Oracles). The queen’s knight-like move makes it even more versatile in both attack and defense. The Oracle promotion option gives players additional late-game strategies, allowing for an extra queen-like piece with powerful control over the board. This variant blends familiarity with innovation, encouraging new approaches to both offense and defense while keeping core chess mechanics intact.

My only minor complaint about 5D Chess is that it is effectively 4D Chess as it doesn't have a 3rd spatial dimension. Just 2 spatials and 2 temporals. It skips the 3rd spatial completely. Even its "help" text guide explicitly says so.

[@U.Inferno]

The third dimension is where the knights go

[@Arthur-io4ey]

Yeah i still don't know why they called tgis variant this way. "Chess time travel" or "temporal chess" or "timeline Chess" would be good. Because now, if someone ever create a temporal Chess with 3d physical dimensions, then the "5D" name is already taken.

I thought about a version myself (which would only work on PC) called loop chess. Both teams have a second row of pawns behind them, and the chess board extends to a second one that reaches back to the other side. It's basically a 8x16 board that extends infinitely on the vertical.

There is a variant where white only has the king, but it can do the move of queen and the knight. Black must keep it's pieces protected because white can't capture in check. White tries to capture as many pieces as possible and finally checkmates in a corner.

[@jesusalvarado7927]

I remember an variant that was I think called scotland chess Its difficult to understand, when a piece moves, the next move will be two moves, then three, then four, and like that, if you capture or check you stop your turn and start with one move again, ussually knights are the Best for their not ussual moves and the queens die fast

[@fibromurker]

Hand and Brain; the brain may only announce the peice that is to be moved. They may say move a knight, or a queen but they may mot say knight to f3, in standard hand and brain the brain is usually an experienced player; i.e. 1800+ while the hand is a beginner i.e.

I thought up a variant I call "Gravity Chess", where the board rotates 90 degrees every set number of turns. But the pawns still must move from one player's side to the other player's side to promote. I'll have to find someone nearby to explain it to one day 😄

[@SEBithehiper945]

Chess World There is the normal chess board, but also 16 more alternate chess boards. These act as the same, but checkmate in an alternate world, you can then upgrade one piece in every world (If you don't have the piece in a world then that world is skipped). You can only upgrade each piece once. In each turn you can choose to move in any world. If you get checked in a world you have to move your piece in that world out of check. Upgraded pieces: Upgraded King (Leader): The king sits in a castle that stops it from being attacked from behind. If a ship/pirate ship is behind, it can shoot down the ship. Upgraded Pawn (Soilder): Can move sideways 1 square, can move/capture diagonally/vertically 1-2 squares everymove! Upgraded Knight (Warrior): Can move like a camel from Fairy Chess too! Upgraded Bishop (Pope): Can jump over 1 piece everytime (has to stop at e4 and d5), or the player can choose instead it to be able jump over 2 of its own pieces every time, but has to stop at e4 and d5. As soon as you move it in 1 of these ways it has to stay doing that. Upgraded Rook (Spy): It can move 1 square diagonally forward now. Upgraded Queen (Emperor): Can also move like a Giraffe from Fairy Chess. Upgraded Ship (Pirate Ship): Can send pirates on to the main land. Pirates move/capture 1 square all the time and when capturing a piece changes the piece's orientation to the pirate's color. The Pirate Ship can only move again once the pirates return to it. The Pirate Ship can move again however if another piece goes inside it Between each world is an entire board's worth of sea. No piece except the ship can go inside the sea, without drowning (being captured). Behind the flanks of the main board is the Ship, a piece that in the beginning can only move like a non-royal king. It cannot move to land. However, when it gets behind an enemy piece, it can turn the piece into a brick in the next turn and steal its abilities. When a Ship/Pirate Ship gets behind a king it becomes check. When it gets behind a leader and get shot down, it sinks into the water (gets captured). A pawn can promote to a ship with pawn abillities if the opponent still has a remaning ship. You only get 1 ship, no alternate ships. The place other boards are in is each direction from the primary board there are 4 boards. Pieces can go inside Pirate Ship/Ships and then leave when a Ship/Pirate Ship is adjacent to mainland, allowing Pieces from 1 world to travel to another using Ships/Pirate Ships. If a piece is inside a Ship/Pirate Ship and it gets shot down that piece dies too. After each game their must be a rematch where the black player was white. If 1-1 or 1/2-1/2 happens, another 2 games. f4, g4, h4, a5, b5, c5 are just the sea.
