I've enjoyed Alice Chess[1], which is played with two boards and on each move a piece on one board goes "through the looking glass" to wind up on the corresponding position on the other board.
Also fun was Suicide Chess[2], where the winner is the first to get all their own pieces captured.
About 20 years ago, I found a book in The Strand which had collected something like 300 chess variants... I'm sure by now there are many more.

- shagie 6y agoWithin 5d chess, there's a mode called "Timeline invasion". In this mode, there are 2x 5x5 boards. On one board, you have BRKBN and five pawns, and I only have five pawns. On the other board, I have BRKBN and five pawns and you only have five pawns. These two boards are parallel dimensions that then follow the rest of the rules.
