Why not? There's Fischerandom.

ICANN's arbitration procedure is so in favour of businesses, that any individuals with valid reasons for domain names (such as people with the surname of Ford) get screwed almost 100% of the time.

As it should be too. If I went to say, www.ibm.com, I would expect to be at the webpage for International Business Machines, not Ian's Battle Monsters homepage.

There are literally thousands of chess variants.........a creation forum would have a purpose, albeit a very specialised one.

And the chess general forum would be used to publish bug reports and discuss wishes for future patches for chess.

Playing various types of robber chess, cylindrical (horizontal or vertical), toroidal or projective chess (files, rows and diagonals get a common tile), chess with special pieces (long range knights come to mind, or the falcon - moves forth like a bishop and back like a rook, the vizir - queen and knight in one), chess with more than one king per side and so on are the favorite entertainment of chess teams on end-of-year celebrations and usually played in increasingly drunk state. There's even a special board to play threesome. Been there, seen that.

My favourite is 'landmine', where you mine 1 square secretly and have the option to blow up an opponent's piece that lands on that square at any time during the game.
