Fairy-Max is a free and open source chess engine which can play orthodox chess as well as chess variants.[1][4][5][6] Among its features is the ability of users to define and use their own custom variant chess pieces for use in games.[4]
Fairy-Max was derived from micro-Max (also developed by H.G. Muller), one of the smallest programs to play complete FIDE chess.[4] Therefore, Fairy-Max versioning started with version number 4.8, the version of micro-Max used.
