Where can I find the rules to Chess and Chess Variants?

The other day I spent 20 minutes trying to find the rules to some Chess Variants, to no avail. That's about 19 minutes and 50 seconds longer than it should take to find them here on Lichess.
Where can I find the rules to the game(s)?
What obvious link am I missing?

rules for all chess variants are here
I don't think Lichess has a page with the rules for standard chess, just go to FIDE website. I'll admit, the rules are rather hard to find.

Thank you.
For future reference, how do you get there? Like, from where to where?
Also, maybe this should be in the FAQ.

That's where I found it :p Gameplay --> what variants can I play on Lichess?
There is also a link to the rules/description whenever you play a variant game, in the top left where the game details are (time control, etc)
