Hi, thanks to everyone for playing The Chess Variants Club.
We've just released an update (v0.1.12) introducing a new variant: Aleut Chess
In the 1933 book "History, Ethnography and Anthropology of the Aleut", W. Jochelson reported a game played by the Aleut people, in Alaska.
It had similarities with chess, probably adapted from the Russians, given the similar figure names.
Peculiar features include a 7x8 board, and the initial setup of the pieces, with starting positions different for white and black.
The variant was implemented based on these reports.
More information here
We hope you enjoy it!
