Fischer Random Chess: the placement of the pieces on the 1st and 8th rank is randomized.
Grid chess: the board is overlaid with a grid of lines; for a move to be legal, it must cross at least one of these lines.
The popularity of these chess variants may be limited to their respective places of origin (as is largely the case for shogi), or worldwide, as is the case for xiangqi which is played by overseas Chinese everywhere.
