Can only standard chess pgn format moves be supported?

For example, can you support Asian traditional chess pgn like janggi?

In theory, the standard can support almost all chess variants since it could store positions and moves as text (EPDs and moves in coordination). The code of the chessboard has a base class (BoardCore) that is designed for chess variants. We have tested that class for extending ones for Chess960, Xiangqi, Jeiqi, XChess... all could work well.

Thus the answer is: both the standard and code could support those chess variants. However, I don't know about them! I hope someone knows, is willing to support, and jumps in to help.
