Iirc there have been various sequels to chess, it being tried so often and never succeeding like chess is actually a interesting point of discussion in game development.

Perhaps the most successful “sequel to chess” is actually the genre of chess problems, i.e., the puzzles about how Black can achieve mate in 3 (or whatever) from a contrived starting position that couldn’t be seen in ordinary (“real”) gameplay.

There are also various ways of randomizing the starting positions in order to make the memorized knowledge of opening strategies irrelevant.

Oh, and Bughouse.

I always liked what we called kickchess. The purpose of the game is to get rid of all your pieces asap, and if you can take a piece you have to. Just turns the whole game upside down. Get rid of that queen!
