Antichess


The goal of antichess is to for the opponent to eat all your pieces for you to win You must
eat the piece if to can this is one of the longest,painful , chess mode not to mention
Difficult

Three Check


The name says it all you need to check the opponent three times then you OR you can checkmate the opponent it is a very good mode cause it teaches you to think defense wise and attacking wise three check
Is a rare game mode not that many people play this because they do not know about it.

Chess960


Chess 960 is a mode where all your back rank pieces(Rook,Knight,Bishop,Queen,King)

Did you know: they named it chess960 because you can move the back rank pieces 960 times
An example of a Chess960 is 279

Racing kings


This game mode of chess is WAY different than any other chess mode the board is rack
That the pieces are some what sideways the goal of this is for the king to reach to the end of the
Board
King of the Hill


King of the hill is the mode were the king needs to be in the center of the chess board
While black has all its regular pieces
To win the game BUT you can also be checkmated so WATCH OUT

Horde


All of white pieces in this mode are pawns and you need to try to checkmate the person
While as black you have all your regular pieces
Did You Know: white has 58 pawns in the beginning of the game

Crazyhouse


One of my favourite chess modes crazy house happens when you eat a piece
You can summon it back BUT not on top of your/opponents pieces
Not all checkmates can work in crazyhouse like the ladder checkmate the opponet can summon
A piece in front of the king
