Hi Elco. Thank you for your interest in ChessV. I'm glad you like it!

Regarding not castling - was with the ChessV engine? And if so, what variants? Almost all variants in ChessV should be using a function to evaluate development, which would reward castling and penalize losing the ability to castle.

Regarding Asian variants - I hope to support these as time goes on. Makruk is currently supported but without the endgame counting rules. This still needs to be done. Xiangqi would not be hard to do, except for the complicated chasing rules. Chu Shogi also isn't too far away. But games with drops are a much bigger challenge.
