Chess Variants from the Delirious Bughouse Variant

In Hans Bodlaender's page of Chess Variants there is a link to the Delirious Bughouse Variant, a totally zany variant that I play with a friend. However, since this variant has a strong random element, it incorporates lots of ideas that, alone, could generate almost normal games. I'll try to list all those inner variants here, with links to the almost normal variants that they may generate

Resumed Rules

This text is not intented to be full explanation of the Variant; those who wish to understand how it is played, and how it evolved, should look at the Delirious Bughouse Page, where there is a sample game

Each move was a random d13, or a number from 1 to 13. The numbers 1-6 were coded as "The Best", the numbers 7-12 were coded as "The Worst", the number 13 meant a bonus piece or event.

If the player was entitled to a bonus piece or event, then a random d6 was thrown: 1-3 meant a chess-like piece, 4-5 meant a funny event, 6 meant a magic item
