ArcBishop80 and BigLion80 are chess engines primarily for 10x8 chess.
The engines are still very very very slow for several reasons.
Presently, random numbers are added to the evaluations of ArcBishop80 to stop
games from repeating.

Of course ArcBishop80 and BigLion80 also play normal chess and Chess960.
As UCI engines, choose UCI HAha for Chess960 and Capablanca for
Capablanca chess in ChessGUI 0.058 or later.
As WB engines, choose WB_OO for Chess960 and Capablanca for
Capablanca chess in ChessGUI 0.058 or later.

Note that ArcBishop80 and BigLion80 are genuinely very very very slow and so
BigLion80 cannot replace BigLion. The 2 engines are completely different from
each other. BigLion80 seems to have some strange eval bug that may be fixed
in next version.

Supported variants are Carrera, Embassy, Janus, Normal, Chess960, Capablanca,
8x8Capablanca, Gothic, Bird, Caparandom.
