Community variant
UnbihexiumFan Evil Chess 3
A variant with a 8x8 board, wazir-ferzes in the back rank, and three major pieces: queens, archbishops, and chancellors. Wazir-ferzes look the same as rooks, but don't be confused! They are not the same! They move one step diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.
This is a user-catalogued casual variant. Technical details such as board size,
FEN, pieces, and hand rules are defined in the Fairy-Stockfish
variants.ini block below.
