What is a Chess Variant?There are some quite interesting games played with a chessboard and pieces apart from chess. This is a not too serious look at these so-called chess variants. Some of them can be played on the Internet Chess Servers.Here is an overview of some of them, including my favourites. Some have very different rules than chess. Others have only a single rule change.Why learn about Variants?Playing a variant can be a light hearted form of entertainment after playing competitive chess.Some are easy to play, some can be highly complex. Some variants have instructional value, especially for juniors. Some variants help teach the abilityto see ahead and see around. Types of Chess VariantsSome use all or some of the standard chess pieces. This book will mostly concentrate on those variants which use a standard chess board and do not need non-chess pieces. There are many variants which use different types of boards. Some are not square. For example, they may be rectangular or Cross-shaped.A few are square though smaller than 8x8, while others are larger. This book will concentrate on variants you can play with a normal chessboard and set. In some cases an additional board or pieces are needed. You will not need to create new types of pieces or boards. Most variants are two player games. Some are solitaire games, while others are multi-player. Some variants require a lot of skill while others are much simpler than standard chess. Some variants have a chance element.Overview of RulesThis is not an encyclopedia of the all the many chess variants.Many of the variants have variations in the rules. This book is not a reference of the rules.It is an overview of variants I have learned, mostly from word of mouth. Included are: rules tips and some sample games of some of the more interesting chess variants. There are many clear colour diagrams.Look InsideYou can click on Look Inside to read the first 10% of this book.However keep in mind the look inside displays gaps which do not appear in the complete version.

Larry Kaufman can safely be called an exceptional chess grandmaster Larry Kaufman started out as a prodigy, however not in chess but as a whizz kid in science and math. He excels at shogi (Japanese chess) and Go, and is also a world-famous computer programmer and a highly successful option trader. Remarkably, as a chess player he only peaked at the weirdly late age of fifty. Yet his victories in the chess arena are considerable. Over a career span of nearly sixty years Kaufman won the state championships of Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Virginia, D.C. and Pennsylvania. He was an American Open Champion and won the U.S. Senior Championship as well as the World Senior Championship. ‘Never a great chess player’ himself (his words), he met or played chess greats such as Bobby Fischer, Bent Larsen, Walter Browne, Boris Spassky, Viktor Kortchnoi and many others. He worked as a second to legendary grandmaster Roman Dzindzichashvili, and coached three talented youngsters to become International Master, one of them his son Raymond. This engrossing memoir is rife with stories and anecdotes about dozens of famous and not-so-famous chess players. In one of the most remarkable chapters Larry Kaufman reveals that the American woman chess player that inspired Walter Tevis to create the Beth Harmon character of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit fame, is his former girlfriend. You will learn about neural networks, material values and how being a chess master helps when trading options. And find lots of memorable but little-known annotated games.
