SMIRF 8x8+10x8 Chess GUI+Engine (RAD Version)

SMIRF is an integrated chess environment by Reinhard Scharnagl (ChessBox Projects) that combines a compact Windows GUI with a native engine.

Highlights:

• Dual-board support: Play and analyze on 8x8 and 10x8 boards with correct rules and move generation.
• Variant-friendly: Supports classic chess, Fischer Random/Chess960-style starting positions, and 10x8 setups in the Capablanca family.
• Built-in engine: Play against the computer, run analysis, or stage engine-assisted practice sessions.
• Flexible controls: Adjust time controls and search depth to match your hardware and skill level.
• Practical tools: Position setup, undo/redo, move list with notation, clocks, and game saving/loading.
• Native RAD interface: A lightweight, responsive Windows application with clear boards and piece sets.

Whether you’re testing ideas on a 10x8 board, exploring randomized starting positions, or just enjoying a focused game against the engine, SMIRF delivers a streamlined, variant-aware chess experience from a dedicated chess-variant developer.
