My favorite variants are:

1. Lao Tzu Chess

The game is everything that regular chess isn't.  Lively and exciting.
Unexpected events happen.  Strategy and tactics still rule the game
without lucky set-ups ruining the fun.

2. Dark Chess (King Capture)

Classic!  I love the idea that my opponent is currently in check, but has
no idea I'm about to take his King!

3. One I'm working on. ;-)

I'll show it when it's ready.
