GUIs

LiGround

LiGround is a modern, cross-platform chess variant GUI for lichess variants and regional variants. As it is a rather new project the set of features is rather limited, but working well for basic analysis and game play. Compatible with UCI engines, especially Fairy-Stockfish, since LiGround’s rule implementation is based on it.
