About Jepps'ian variants.

WELCOME to the square & thank you for visiting! This website features dedicated investigations into evolving Chess and many other wonders of Chessvariantism.

I have been studying the evolutionary mechanics of Chess and its historical variants ever since my early twenties (I was born in 1978 & Chess was born in Ancient India). The games published here are a creative portfolio of my wholehearted endeavours to revolutionize the Classical game, whilst also educating readers about Chessvariantism itself.

Here at the top you will find the Jeppsquare featured variants and below a Gamezvault containing many more Chess Variant creations.

MAGECA CHESS by Simon E Jepps

The ultimate next
evolution of Chess &
the grande summit of
Jeppsquare Chess
Variant investigations.



Mageca Chess is a variant I have designed to ultimately address and remedy the problems associated with evolving Chess unto a 100sq board.

Mageca Chess is a 10x10 variant featuring a new Piece, the Mageca and additionally the curiosity of a Camel move for the Knight. All other Classical Chess rules, apart from a minor adjustment to Castling & En Passant, remain the same.

Omechanga  1 Comment  PDF
Omechanga is an 8x8 'double variant', both of modern Chess and ancient Chaturanga, employing Western pieces and two 8-sided dice within an Indian-inspired arena.
OMECHANGA by Simon E JeppsThe game features an adaptation and unique modification of the Omega Wizard, hence the game's compound name Omechanga.

Furthermore Omechanga is not just a wondrously fun & intellectual two-player pastime, but a deeply engrossing philosophical & spiritual adventure whence played solo. This game is an evolution of other previous Jeppsquare transpositions of the ancient Indian game and is believed to be the ultimate final summit of this project.

ENTITY by Simon JeppsEntity is an 8x8 variant employing an invisible 'blindfold' piece with a metaphysical presence. This game, along with Tzar Chess, is one of the Jeppsquare prime candidates for evolving Chess due to its seamless compatible integration with Classical Chess rules & etiquette.
