There are some but they're all shit though. I wish xiangqi is chess-tier popular

chess is popular for the same reason soccer is popular, it's a distillation of all the rules (other than en passant and castling). the board is simple and uniform. knight movement is simpler and you don't have to worry which way you can move without being blocked

the more complicated something is the less of a chance it'll spread

I do wish some of the larger board variants that has bishopxknight, rookxknight hybrids were added to lichess though

move the soldier in the central palace point one over to the right, making check. general dies by either soldier or general recapturing

maybe something like that. i play a lot of korean chess which has slightly different rules and movesets.
