which variant do you love the most in lichess

I am quite confused at the moment,but it has been atomic for a long time for me!
S: UltraBullet
A: Racing Kings, Antichess
B: Three-Check, Correspondence
C: KOTH, Atomic
D: Chess 960, Blitz, Bullet
E: Horde, Rapid
F: Crazyhouse, Classical
The only variant I play on Lichess so far is 960. I've played some casual three-check elsewhere and have experience in OTB bughouse, so maybe I'll break into the Crazyhouse scene at some point. I haven't played give-away (Antichess) since I was a teenager, and that was just some fun with friends. I may be up for casual games of it. I really want to keep my focus on standard chess for the most part. As for time controls, which you also seem to have listed... I would say that I enjoy 30+0 (which here is Classical, and would be Rapid elsewhere) the most. It gives just enough time to really grasp the nuances of the positions but doesn't drag on too long where screen fatigue or my schedule might be an issue. Next is 3+0 blitz for a quick battle. Next, I would choose correspondence. For longer correspondence games that reach complex positions, I set up an analysis board in my living room and ponder the position from there rather than using the standard one on the site other than for pre-moving variations. I also like to study and annotate games I find of particular worth.
i never respond to lichess forums haha, but this topic is interesting..im gonna have to say atomic, then blitz..you could check how many games ive played of atomic compared to other variants...big difference XD
