What I personally like about Euchess is that it is even closer to Gross Chess than Grand Chess is. Gross Chess is basically Euchess + Eurasian Chess + Omega Chess on a larger board.
Euchess is an easy game to program. It can be done easily enough by slightly modifying the code for Victorian Chess. All you have to do is copy the code for that game to a Euchess preset and modify the code in the Pre-Game section that identifies the locations of the Kings (used for spotting check) and the flags on the spaces for the Kings and Rooks (used for castling).
