Created by EmyViv in May 2026. Similar to Seirawan Chess (also known as S-Chess or SHARPER Chess), with a slightly different starting board, and a gateable Cannon instead of a Hawk. The Elephant moves as in S-Chess, with the combined movement of a rook and knight. The Cannon moves as in Xiangqi; it can move without capturing as a rook, but must jump over another piece to capture the piece that it lands on. Cannons are placed on d1 and d8, and Queens start in hand.

A 6x6 Shogi variant designed by Wayne Schmittberger. In Whale Shogi players have a very weak piece (the Porpoise) that if captured gives the capturing player the strongest piece of the game in hand: the Killer Whale. Detailed rules are available on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shogi In this modified version, Dolphins (pawns) promote on the last rank and gain the ability to move and capture diagonally backwards.

25 Ferz (with king) Vs Chess army. Don't worry about the engine's initial evaluation. Setting custom piece values for the ferzes requires changing the variant's ID name, which causes runtime errors. So the base code is used, meaning the engine will miscalculate and underestimate the Ferz Army. Recommended to play against AI level 4 or higher for the best challenge.
