Stockfish for analysing variants on
Try Fairy Stockfish. Not as strong as regular stockfish but still should be more than enough.

The difficulty of computer duck chess.
I actually already implemented it in Fairy-Stockfish, although as a separate branch: https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/tree/duck. As we currently still reuse the chess evaluation until we have a first NN(UE) it isn't on top human level yet, but move ordering already is decent, so once we have a proper evaluation it should do much better.

Introducing... CHESS.SEX
implement your favorite Anarchy Chess rules with fairy-stockfish (https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish), which lichess already uses for the variants it hosts, so it should be easy™ to make your cloned lichess accept it

Did someone make a Chess Bot Analysis Check for Duck Chess?
Oh, apparently an experimental fork of fairy-stockfish with duck chess support was published yesterday! https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/tree/duck
- Somebody pls make an engine/AI of duckchess

Is Minishogi solved?
To my knowledge it isn't. Some of the small-sized shogi variants, like Dobutsu, Micro, or Kyoto shogi, can either be (practically) weakly solved using engine search or even strongly using tablebases in the case of dobutsu shogi. However, for minishogi neither of those have yielded a definitive result yet to my knowledge. Nevertheless, deep engine searches and games from high level engines strongly indicate that gote, i.e., the second player, wins with perfect play.

How does the Fairy Chess YouTube channel make custom chess games and make Stockfish fight? How can I do that?

SwtichersVsClobberers
But, if you have a variant which the free Fairy Stockfish or ChessV (Alt link) can not play, Zillions can probably implement it fairly easily. Just this year, I created a Chess variant using an unusual tiling of squares and triangles. The only engine which can play this variant is Zillions.

Is there a browser extension or script to convert a chess.com game to a pgn? The export button doesn't work in firefox.
I hate playing on chesscom, but lichess is blocked on school wifi. I want to analyze my games with the offline analysis tool [liground(https://github.com/ml-research/liground), by pasting the pgn in. However, on firefox, some of the website features are broken, one of which is copying the pgn.
