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.

We hope you enjoy it!
