XBoard is already highly configurable to the rules it applies (board size=
, how pieces can move, etc.). This configuration can even be done automat=
ically by an engine. So unless your variant has very unusual rules, chanc=
es are that no modification to XBoard is needed at all to play the varian=
t.=0AIf the rules are very unusual, it might be very difficult to program=
 them into XBoard. In that case it would become a question whether the ef=
fort is worth it.=0AIn other words: not much can be said about this witho=
ut knowing the rules of the variant.=0AH.G.=0AOp ma., apr. 5, 2021 om 18:=
