Hello,
Would it be possible to add support to Antichess Variant? See here: https://lichess.org/variant/antichess

It might be complicated, but maybe a start would be just disabling all checks for a valid move/position? What would be your suggestion for that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It should be feasible (obviously the antichess is not the most complicated variant to implement). Still, I have to figure out how to switch properly from one variant to another in the code, without duplicating to many things. I'll look at that.

Any chance this will see the light soon? Thanks :)

This is available in RPB Chessboard version 6.2.0 (just released).

Currently, the antichess games must contain the PGN header [Variant "Antichess"] so that they can be recognized as such. This corresponds to the Lichess convention, but my guess is that PGN files generated by other websites may follow a different convention (e.g. [Variant "Giveaway"], [Variant "Suicidechess"] or whatever...). If this is the case, and if you encounter some problem with these kind of headers, please let me know.
