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 ...
