The goal of the project is to create a chess variant engine supporting a large variety of chess variants (similar to FairyMax or Sjaak) 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 lower performance. + +Currently supported variants are: +- Shatranj +- Makruk +- ASEAN chess +- Ai-Wok +- Amazon chess +- Hoppel-Poppel +- Losers chess +- King of the Hill +- Racing Kings +- Three-check chess +- Five-check chess + +## Stockfish ### Overview [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/official-stockfish/Stockfish.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/official-stockfish/Stockfish) -- 1.7.0.4
