According to my partner (Mister Rip van Winkle), there are several chess variants in the world. He says there is European Chess, Chinese Chess and Japanese Chess. One day he says there will be Computer Chess (when it has been invented). The original three are war games played with pieces and a board. The one to be invented yet will be a war game played between the lonely. The aim being to consign the opponent into the abyss. Mr Winkle says that other to be invented variants will fail to get of the ground (like Fairy Chess). This being due to the nature of the (mostly male) participants.
