 3 Pawn Chess  Knightmate  Pocket-Knight
 Berolina Chess  Losing Chess  Progressive Take-All

Plus these chess variants on small boards:

And these regional variants:

Then there are puzzles... Warm up with a Knight's Tour and then try a Camel's Tour! Can you fit 10 Maharajas (Amazons) on a 10x10 board? How about swapping 24 Knights? Zillions has a lot to offer the chess variant enthusiast here as well:
