Capablanca variant / Variable board size #183

Closed alitnk closed 6 months ago

alitnk commented 6 months ago

First of all, thank you for all the amazing work on this library.

This is more of a question, rather than a problem or bug that needs to be addressed.

I'm looking to add a Capablanca variant but struggling to find a way to change the board size (Capablanca has a 10x8 board). As far as I can tell, there's no way to change the board size. What would be the recommended way to go about that? Forking the lib and adding support for variable board sizes? And has this ever been considered to be added to the library? Or perhaps would you be open to a PR for that feature?

Thank you.

I see https://github.com/fairy-stockfish/Fairy-Stockfish already handles these. It might make sense for this library (chessops) to not to have to worry about different board sizes and variant rules, as bundle size is a concern for JS libs. Closing the issue as I'll most likely move on to use Fairy Stockfish.
