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.

LUCK DRAGON Photo by Simon Jepps
Luck Dragon is a 10x8 variant featuring a new piece, called the Luck Dragon. A very special pet project from the very beginning of my adventures into Chessvariantism, this game proclaims to solve with good remedy the paradox of a rectangular board, a shape so many have tried to embrace yet so many more have tried to reject.

Luck Dragon preserves the central classical arena, philosophy and rules, yet whilst augmenting the game to include two LDs each, three 8-sided dice and a wondrous 'landscape' seemingly crafted in wisdom, logic and lore. This game is a fantastical adventure into a new world of Chess and indeed the Jeppsquare most prime candidate for evolving Chess due to its exceptional commanding of 10x8 play & seamless integration of novel concepts.

All other Classical Chess rules, apart from a minor adjustment to Castling & En Passant, remain the same.


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

Omechanga     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.
