* '''Baskerville's hexagonal chess''': Earliest attempt at a strict hexagonal analog to chess. 83 cell hex board with four corners. Same as '''Gliński's Hexagonal Chess''', but no special pawn moves or hex diagonal king moves. Opposing bishops occupy differently colored spaces, thus preventing them from attacking each other. By H. D. Baskerville (1929).
* '''[[Brusky's hexagonal chess]]''': Chess on an irregular board of 84 hex cells. Same as '''Gliński's Hexagonal Chess''', but with ten pawns instead of nine, linear startup, two forward move directions for pawns, pawns capture forward diagonally, and castling. By Yakov Brusky (1966).
* '''[[Hexagonal chess#De Vasa's hexagonal chess|De Vasa's hexagonal chess]]''': Chess on a rhombus-shaped board of 81 hex cells. Same as '''Gliński's Hexagonal Chess''', but linear startup, two forward move directions for pawns, pawns capture forward diagonally to the side, and castling. Invented by Helge E. de Vasa (1953).
* '''[[Gliński's hexagonal chess]]''': The most popular version of chess for the hex board. Includes three bishops, nine pawns, 91 hex cells. Invented by Władysław Gliński (1936).
* '''[[McCooey's hexagonal chess]]''': Chess on the same hexagonal board as Gliński's Hexagonal Chess, but using a different starting array, seven pawns instead of nine, and pawns capture forward diagonally. By Richard Honeycutt and David McCooey (1978&ndash;1979).
* '''[[Hexagonal chess#Starchess|Polgar Superstar Chess]]''': Hexagonal variant played on a special star-shaped board.

* '''[[Shafran's hexagonal chess]]''': Chess on an irregular hex board of 70 cells. Same as '''Gliński's Hexagonal Chess''', but differs by starting position, pawn first-move options, pawns capturing forward diagonally, and castling. Invented by Grigorevich Shafran (1939).
* '''Strozewski's hexagonal chess''': Chess on a square-shaped board of 81 hex cells. King and Knight move as if cells were squares. Invented by Casimir S. Strozewski (1976).
