At this point I prefer just plain old chess (orthodox chess) or fischer
random.
I have not found any chess-like game on this site whose gameplay is
comparable or exceeds them.
Perhaps its just the huge volume of literature available or that is the
most developed that makes it this way ...but there is no way I want to be
stuck on a desert island with a chess game that is too far removed from
orthodox chess .. On the other hand ...a 10x10 chess board with extra
pieces can still be used to play vanilla chess so this 'desert' island
theme cannot be taken literally.
