Google is your friend.

Sjeng is a free engine with best variant support that I've seen,
I guess you can always run your own chess server with 3 copies
of a bug engine. I don't partake of most variants - ordinary
chess still holds my fascination well enough - so I'm not sure
if Sjeng plays Bug properly.

GNU Chess definitely doesn't play variants - and won't be
playing any time soon as far as I am aware.

The Icon programming language has a free Kriegspiel program - so
I guess I partake of variants every now and then, but Kriegspiel
is far more "serious" than bug --- stir stir ;-)

The ICON kriegspiel plays terrible Kriegspiel BTW - even I can
beat it.
