Can't get SMIRF to work because there is a dll missing.
Anyway, it's possible to get Zillions to play well too, if one applies some tweaking so that it moves the centre pawns in the opening instead of hopping about with the light pieces, and also, to persuade it to castle. I've made those tweakings today in the 8x10 variants, downloadable here. Maybe I'll publish this after all, because it plays somewhat better than earlier publications.

I am thinking of implementing Hans Åberg's Capablanca variant, too, because it implies an improvement of the castle rules.
