Thanks, I didn't want to be to advertise-y but it's open source anyway. It's tactorius.org.
Tactorius V2.0.0 has been released. Come check out the new spells like dyads (move twice, no captures), offerings, and new modifications. New pieces: Valkyrie and Herring (must be captured if legal). Explore the spells in quickplay or challenge yourself in the campaign. tactorius.org
Final plug on the spell chess story mode I created: https://www.tactorius.org/ that is as long as I never make it multiplayer. Play through 3 full sagas of story arcs as you follow sidian, cassandra, and voltaire in their journey of truth and reconciliation. Completing a chapter will put you on the leaderboard. Learn about the technics and philosophy behind chess in the lexicon or experiment with the new pieces and rules in quick play. Most rules are validated by the custom variant engine.
Completely open-source and free

Hi all, I have a site I just released a web app that combines new pieces (royalty family, ghost family, equus family), spells (arcana - badges that are specific to a player that allow you to bend rules of the game like castling through check, alternate piece move patterns, and square conditions to name a few) - the engine validates and evaluates these rules as well. It also features a campaign that takes you through a story with technical and philosophical lessons, challenges and custom matches. Happy to discuss feedback or answer questions and share a link if it's allowed.
