I am surprised that this is programmed in Scratch since I thought it couldn't do really difficult things like this but this has changed my perspective.

This is a chess project made in Scratch that has multiple chess variants and even 64x64 chess! This is probably one of the first, if any other, programs that allow you to play 64x64 chess. You can *use it above, but it is much faster on sulfurous here: https://sulfurous.aau.at/html/app.html?id=188772843&turbo=false&full-screen=false&aspect-x=&aspect-y=&resolution-x=480&resolution-y=360
Here are the numbers for each variant:
