As theworlds best known abstract, it's also the focus of unlimited numbers ofvariants and related games. Some are just for fun, others arethe focus of serious play. A few variants are at Boardspace.

The back story: Chesswas the first abstract game I learned, so has to be a sentimentalfavorite even though I no longer play it regularly. Ultima isaninteresting case; I remember being shown the game by a chess playingfriend while in high school, which would have been shortly after it wasfirst published. It's stayed with me. RichardHesey, areyou out there? Chess960 is another case, I learned and played itfor a many-games tournament, and it's played the way I prefer to playall my games - just work it out from first principles.
