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.
