Ok, I'll go first. I nominate Cylindrical Chess. It has been around for probably two hundred years, has been a problem theme for over a hundred years, was played in NOST, and has logged 30 games on Game Courier. It has been supported by ChessV for at least 15 years. And, perhaps most importantly, it has that ususual characteristic of making a single, easily understood change to the game of Chess that leads to something completely new.
