Walter Montego: To summarize--Superchess is chess with pieces from all throughout western chess history, plus some adaptations from eastern chess also, played on an 8x8 board, but can also be played on an 8x10 (or 10x8) or 10x10 board. Checkmate is the goal, and the piece army starts off as any chessgame, but in the "prelude" some pieces can be switched out according to a solid set of rules. It has been played for 3 years at the Corus Chess Tournament by amateur and GM alike. It is a very entertaining variant, more storylike in its approach to each game. Familiar chess principles apply.
