Sure, there is that explosive chess and 960 chess and so on, but the game itself still stands. Time controls is not that recent either IIRC it was added when after many hours of thinking, the opponent broke the rule of not distracting the adversary and daringly asked where he was and got the response : “I thought it was your turn!”

Bleys@lemmy.world 4 days agoChess is thousands of years old, but many popular variants like Fischer random or blitz are recent developments. Even auto chess is technically inspired by chess and now has millions of active players.
Despite borrowing principles from the original chess (which itself has changed quite a bit since inception) each of these games is substantially different from one another. You can call them recycled ideas, but I would just call it innovation.
