Subject: Is It Feasible to Build an Engine That Plays Chess AND Chess Variants?

Recent bulletins here seem to indicate that there is some interest in variants
of classical [40 in 2 and 15 per half] chess, including blitz, bullet, and
correspondence chess.

This begs the question: "Is it feasible to build a playing program which can
play more than one game well, INCLUDING classical chess?

One is reminded of Fischer's idea of rearranging the pieces in the starting
position.

Surely, software which can play chess belongs here at CCC even if it can play
other games as well.
