Please.
Looks like no. There are a decent number of cool looking variants you can play but I can't find this variant

It’s too bad. FischerChess basically removes the memorization component from the game and replaces it with on the fly skill. I’m not saying I think it’s better I just think it’s really cool.

Yeah I think it sounds fun as hell. I don’t see why it would be all that hard to implement, so I’m surprised chess.com hasn’t put it in

This is starting to get weird



Most my opponents in rapid chess:



My opponents in blitz chess, even at like 450 ranking for some reason:



I do not understand why there's such an enormous discrepancy here. My opponents in blitz seem to never make mistakes despite such a shorter timer

I think blitz is trendier right now and attracts better players. The ratings may be skewed because of the competition.

Just a theory.

Just got absolutely thrashed again in Blitz by someone ranked 340, clearly I just need to stop playing Blitz until I have a better feel for the game. ****

I found 960 under “variants” and got demolished 4 games in a row. Three were on two minute thirty second timer (lightning I guess?) and I just ran out of time all three games. Then on a ten minute game I lost my queen just by a blunder.

I don't know how I missed that when you asked me about it a couple weeks ago, maybe it's newly implemented
