Fairy pieces in 4-Player

I've recently discovered that you can play games with fairy pieces in them in 4 player and recently I've just been creating variants and playing them. There's actually a lot of pieces to choose from, and I think we could create some of the correspondence variants in 4 player and play them live.

I just made a variant called "Bulldog Chess with Alibaba and Guard." Here's a sample game.

Interesting! I can't find how to load the FEN into the game player. Is there a way to do it?

I also looked at the collection of fairy pieces (link below) and I don't see the guard. Were you able to add it somehow?

I'll invite you to a game right now. Just make sure to be in 4 player.
