I don't know of anything, certainly nothing aimed at so many chess variants.

The AI is the easy bit, since they claim for most things they are doing
a brute force search, would be pretty easy to chuck in some generic tree
search algorithmns that do the same or smarter searches.

The clever bit is coming up with a framework which is flexible enough,
and the basic libraries of interest.

The natural approach from a GNU perspective would be a Gnome app using
some sort of extension language (Scheme?).

The closest kind of thing I've seen is GCompris which is aimed at
education software and uses C. There are also a lot of patients games
around.... but I guess you noticed that.
