The excellent is for asking this really good question. I want to list these
favorites:

1. Chu Shogi A big shogi variant introducing lots of interesting pieces.
And it has a players' community as well (even organised and with
tournaments). 

2. Tai Shogi A very big shogi variant with pieces no westerner has even
dreamt about like the hook movers.

3. Sons of Mithra A chess variant with very much flavour in it. It has
creative pieces, creative methods of capturing, and the traces of sound
playtesting.

4. Seperate Realms Chess A good example of how a rather restrictive idea
leads to an excellent game.

5. Perfect 12 I love Cazaux' style in chessvariant design and this one is
a good example. Don't miss the other games by him!
