Stockfish Variants, Why not Antichess ?

I see! thank you for the link. Although im ashamed to say it i dont know how to compile it :(

regarding the openings, might i ask which opening does it prefer for white and what response does it give to 1.e3? is it b6?
The 5 best moves at depth 20 (which takes about 1s):
1.Nh3, 1.Na3, 1.b3, 1.c4, 1.g3

The 5 best moves at depth 20 after 1.e3:
1...b5, 1...c5, 1...c6, 1...b6, 1...a6

The important point is that it evaluates 1...b5 as much better for black and all other replies as much better for white (>+2). So if it found that 1...b5 is bad, it would immediately recognize 1.e3 as the best move. However, 1...b5 will be a tough nut to crack.
Oh, wait, I have run it from the starting position with multipv=20 on an AWS machine a few days ago. The output was:

My suggestion is that Stockfish has two modes, one including the partial weak solution and one without. All black moves must take the partial weak solution into account (and ask Dr. Mark Watkins for permission to use his lines) or a guy with the solution on can easily defeat Stockfish. On the other hand, diversity in white moves should usually be desired so that not all antichess players are trained to merely remember 1.e3 b6 and not do anything else.
