  • Stockfish for analysing variants on

    Try Fairy Stockfish. Not as strong as regular stockfish but still should be more than enough.
  • Advanced Players Chess Board!

    Fairy Stockfish. This is a lot more limited in the number of chess variants it can play compared to Zillions, but what it can play it plays very strongly. Yes, with some limitations, it is possible to define custom pieces for Fairy Stockfish.
  • Losing Chess but you gotta lose the King to win
    2 projects | /r/chessvariants | 4 Feb 2022
    This variant is also known as Codrus chess. It is e.g. supported by Cutechess https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess and Fairy-Stockfish https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish. Some info on the game can be found in the cutechess documentation: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/blob/e47db4d9553d9a76202ee3c8f2357f5d3ed59f49/projects/lib/src/board/codrusboard.h#L29-L47
  • Configuring Fairy Stockfish to play Chinese chess and connecting it to GUI to play with other engine
    4 projects | /r/xiangqi | 12 Mar 2021
    The goal is basically what is described in the readme https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish#fairy-stockfish. I want to make use of the strong Stockfish engine and generalize it to apply it to many games in order to get a strong chess variant engine.

    Well, I do not know if I am an expert on that, but for me personally the most important is to have a system to track everything, and so far I am using github issues, milestones, and projects for that. Keeping them all in my head is impossible, so I need to record, categorize, and prioritize them. As you can see in https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/issues I do get overwhelmed by requests, but a detailed tracking, categorization, and prioritization helps me to know that I can always rely on not forgetting any bug or feature request, or what I wanted to work on next, because it is not me who has to remember it. Just make clear to yourself and users that recording a feature request does not imply that you will work on it, just that you took notice and acknowledge it.
