The goal of the project is to create an engine supporting a large variety of chess-like games, equipped with the powerful search of Stockfish. It is complementary to Stockfish forks more specialized for certain chess variants, such as [multi-variant Stockfish](https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish), [Seirawan-Stockfish](https://github.com/ianfab/Seirawan-Stockfish), [Makruk-Stockfish](https://github.com/ianfab/Makruk-Stockfish), etc., supporting more variants with the tradeoff of slightly lower performance. +Fairy-Stockfish is a UCI/USI chess variant engine derived from [Stockfish](https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/) designed for the support of fairy chess variants and easy extensibility with more games. It can play various historical, regional, and modern chess variants as well [games with user-defined rules](https://github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/wiki/Variant-configuration). + +The goal of the project is to create an engine supporting a large variety of chess-like games, equipped with the powerful search of Stockfish.

Fairy-Stockfish can also play user-defined variants loaded via a variant configuration file, see the file `src/variants.ini`. +The games currently supported besides chess are listed below.
