We all know Magnus Carlsen has done it all in chess, as World Champion and winning many tournaments, but he has also become known for becoming the best in the world, in variants as well.

The Super-Kings chess variant is where the King has all the powers of a queen, and can move and capture exactly like a queen. Outside of that, the same rules of chess still apply. Jose Raul Capablanca was a genius at these types of variants. This variant been around in various forms for a long time. Some people even play it as the King can move like a queen and a knight. This fun variant has been played in different forms for quite some time now! It is played in many chess clubs!
