I want to play against Stockfish offline because I'm going on a trip. I downloaded the compiled exe from GitHub since my laptop will have limited Internet connection. After loading it into the Arena GUI I noticed it only supports Chess960. Which GUIs support the chess variants Atomic and King of the Hill?

There are three chess variant GUIs supporting both atomic and king of the hill that I am aware of:

The latter is well suited for automated engine matches and human vs. engine games, but less for game analysis. All three should work fine with the multi-variant Stockfish you downloaded.

  • Is the problem with installing Winboard itself or with running Stockfish in it? The most recent Winboard you can get at hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-AA.zip, but running Stockfish in it requires the UCI2WB adapter, which should be included already. Alternatively you can also try my other Stockfish variant fork github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish which does not need an adapter, see github.com/ianfab/Fairy-Stockfish/wiki/Usage#xboardwinboard, but it does not support atomic.

  • The problem is in setting up Stockfish because I don't understand what to do after launching the program itself. Thank you for telling me about UCI2WB
