Cheroli is an abstract game in which the "board" is built out of circular tiles. Players have hoop-shaped pieces which occupy two tiles and move by swinging on one leg. The object of the game depends on which variant is used. The board could be built into a square or hexagon and the players try to reach the other side with their pieces. Chips can be placed...
A "chesimal" is a chess animal, an autonomous multi-unit piece with its own "brain" unit, an activator that allows same-colored pieces that are directly connected to the activator to move. A chesimal that has lost its brain can no longer move, although the remaining units of the chesimal stay on the board, blocking friendly pieces and subject to capture by...
This game is a combination of chess and checkers. It was originally published in a chess fanzine [which one?]. It is played on a normal checkerboard.

A chess variant played on a quadruple Alquerque board (9×9, similar to Dablo Aasele). Each player has 18 pieces — the usual chess pieces plus a ninth pawn and an archbishop, which moves as a combined bishop and knight. The moves of the pieces are slightly adapted for the Alquerque grid: bishops and other diagonal-moving pieces can only move along grid...

There's a new win condition for crossing the midline of the board with your king (in addition to...

Like the standard game of chess, but the pieces behind the pawns on the white side are arranged at random, with the proviso that bishops must end up on opposite colors, and the king is somewhere between the two rooks.
