How to play Atomic chess against Stockfish?

I'm planning on going a trip, where while travelling I wont have internet connection so I cant use an online engine

I have downloaded the source from https://github.com/variantatomicchessengine/Stockfish I got Arena, Scid VS. PC and ChessX but I am unable to figure out how should I put the engine into one of the GUIs to play

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

The source files won't do you any good unless you know how to compile the source files into a binary executable. It would probably be easier to find a pre-compiled binary that someone else has already made. I think you might be able to download one from one of these two links:

https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish/wiki

https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish/releases

If you're confused about which one to download, and assuming you're using Windows, try this one:

(Note - I haven't actually tried this one - I don't play Atomic chess.)

Also, I think your GUI has to support the chess variant that you want to play, and I'm not sure any of those three GUIs support Atomic chess. Winboard 4.8.0 does support Atomic chess - You can get the Winboard 4.8.0 installer here: http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?t=51528

Thank you for the answer, but after opening Winboard I get lost and don't know how to put Stockfish engine inside. I think I installed it, but cant run it

I switched over to my old Windows 7 setup, which has Winboard 4.8.0 already installed, and I tried (unsuccessfully) to install the Stockfish variant engine. I couldn't get it to work, either. (Not sure what's wrong, but I couldn't get anything to work right.)

However, I *was* able to load the Pulsar engine (which comes with the Winboard 4.8.0 installation) and play some Atomic chess games. The negative is that there didn't seem to be any settings for the Pulsar engine that I could change, so I'm assuming it was playing at full strength, whatever that is.

Also, I noticed that when I originally installed the Winboard 4.8.0 program into my Windows 7, I didn't use the default "Program Files (x86)" folder. Instead, I created a new "Program Files (32-bit programs)" folder and installed Winboard into that new folder. I don't remember why I did that, but it's possible that I might have had concerns about file permissions related to the Winboard installation.

Thank you, also isn't Program Files x86 the default for 32 bit?

Nonetheless, not being able to change settings makes me not wanna play 

Also, I'm right now looking for another GUI that can support Atomic

Ahh, the thread is back after its disappearing act! (Let's hope it stays here, lol.)

Yeah, it looks like trying to set up Winboard for atomic chess may be problematic. As I mentioned in my PM, the PyChess GUI might be a more promising approach to try. The PyChess.py engine plays atomic chess out of the box, although it may not be a very strong engine. However, the PyChess engine Wiki claims to also be able to run the multi-variant Stockfish engine (which plays atomic chess). I didn't try installing that engine, but hopefully it will work OK.
