See www.sjeng.org
and http://www.lokasoft.nl/uk/deepsjengintro.htm

Deep Sjeng is a "normal chess" playing program. It comes with the Locasoft GUI
but can be easily pluged into Chessbase/Fritz, Winboard, Arena and other
interfaces.
This, the up-to-8-processor-support, and the included linux version make it more
flexible than other commercial chess programs.

The reason you might have thought that Sjeng is "some sort of variant game" is
that older Sjengs support chess variants (Suicide chess, crazyhouse chess..)
very well. See at http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/indexold.html
