🚀 go-pugleaf

Hello,

I have just made a patch for gnuchess 5.07 which adds the -n switch to
play chess960 and increments to version 5.08. Testing is needed for
castling but I think everything should work.

"Chess960 is a chess variant produced by the late former World
Champion Bobby Fischer by modifying the rules of Shuffle Chess so that
castling possibilities exist for all starting positions. Fischer's
goal was to create a chess variant in which chess creativity and
talent would be more important than memorization and analysis of
opening moves."

Enjoy!

Jason
