Chess with Cannon : Shako
I've just tried a chess variant called Shako, where there are two new pieces: Elephant and Cannon. Wowww, the Cannon piece is amazing ! This piece moves and captures like the Cannon in Chinese chess. It's not too powerful, but quite useful. It brings a new perspective and different to attack to the game. The Cannon creates many 'discovered attacks' situations. It's awesome. If you haven't played it yet, give it a try: https://www.pychess.org/

Can Chess, with Hexagons? [video]
I want to share https://www.pychess.org/ as well - while it doesn't have hexagonal chess, it has tons of variants and you can play both against the computer (that runs fairy stockfish - an engine that works with many chess variants) and against human players
My current favorite is https://www.pychess.org/variants/empire - it's been designed to be wildly asymmetric but actually the balance between the two armies are more even than regular chess' white vs black pieces.
My problem is that there is no literature, no published theory on most chess variants. At least I can't find any theory on empire ehess, and thus I have to develop strategies on my own - but that's how I played chess 20 years ago and it was awful.
The best part of chess IMO is the social aspect of having an evolving theory (or as other games call it, an evolving metagame), and the way we can learn theory to be able to quickly assess who is winning at a given position (a highly nontrivial task), or assess whether a move is "natural" or not.

FIDE uses Lichess code and joins the free open source software community!
Looks like FIDE is using https://github.com/lichess-org/chessground, the UI library for creating chess boards that Lichess developed (great library btw).

What does lichess actually do to achieve the "faster" feeling of less lag?
I don't think it's lag compensation, I think the actual chess board is more responsive (but I'm not sure if there's a good way to measure that). The README of Chessground (the board used by lichess) says that it is

Arduino-based electronic chess-board I made
I simply used the String representation already provided by the chess library. I'll look into adding a proper chessboard eventually (maybe using chessground in a WebView).

I've been working hard to create MoveGuesser.com, a rich interactive experience to guess the moves of famous games played by legendary Grandmasters. Feedback appreciated!
I think Lichess uses Chess Ground for their customizable Board and Pieces UI. I know this seems overkill. But, It's just a suggestion.
