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.
