LOOK AT THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY VARIENTS

ANTICHESS: play e3 to open up your bishop and when they plaly g5 take the pawn and Nc6 is a blunder because bishop takes, you play Qb4 they take, kd1 and let them take all of your pieces.
ATOMIC: Basically whoever goes first always wins, you have to bring out your knight early because they can explode their king, now you have to either bring your knight too g5 for a unstoppable mate or put your knight on d4 for a lot of pieces.

CRAZYHOUSE: In the beginning you just want to take as much pieces and place them down before your opponent can react so you get a checkmate with all the pieces you have collected.

3 CHECK : move all your minor pieces toward the king so you get your first check. Then sac your rooks for the second check and finally your queen will be the last piece you sac for a win.

KING IF THE HILL: you don’t want to bring your king early out in the game because you could get checkmated easily near the center of the bourd which means once you are in a middle game or an endgame begin bringing your going out.

RACING KINGS: Since there is no checks allowed we will have to race our kings, out your rooks in front of the kings and do a lot of sacrifices and it will bare tee you a win in racing kings.

HORDE: The only thing you have to do is pray for yourself to be white, the pawns get a lot of space and can attack the king very easily, they will promote to queens and your opponent will sack pieces just to stop you.

Chess960: I’m not going to talk about this a lot but it is very similar to Standard chess and same exact rules so once you get used to all the pieces in random spots you are all set.
