OK, I have made a new version of Fairy-Max, which supports the 6th-rank promotion, and has Makruk pre-programmed. The Windows version can be downloaded at http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/fairy.zip . A Linux tar-ball is at http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/fairymax.tar.gz .

I also tweeked WinBoard a little, to use S and M for the Bishop and Queen, now that Fairy-Max can have different white and black pieces with the same name. (I configured Fairy-Max such that it would understand E and B for S as well, as well as Q and F for M, btw.) The latest version is at: http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/winboard.zip . Sources (for XBoard) can be obtained at http://hgm.nubati.net , from the git repository.
