Hexagonal - Chess Variants

Hexagonal chess refers to a group of chess variants played on boards composed of hexagon cells.
The best known is Gliski's variant, played on a symmetric 91-cell hexagonal board.
Since each hexagonal cell not on a board edge has six neighbor cells, there is increased mobility for pieces compared to a standard orthogonal chessboard.
(E.g., a rook has six natural directions for movement instead of four.) Three colours are typically used so that no two neighboring cells are the same colour, and a colour-restricted game piece such as the orthodox chess bishop usually comes in sets of three per player in order to maintain the game's balance.
I'm trying to create an application that allows a player of any level to enjoy the game.

Endgame studies
These endgame studies apply to both Gliski's and McCooey's variants
king + two knights can checkmate a lone king;
king + rook beats king + knight (no fortress draws and a negligible number (0.0019%) of perpetual check draws);
king + rook beats king + bishop (no fortress draws and no perpetual check draws);
king + two bishops cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.17%);
king + knight + bishop cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.5%);
king + queen does not beat king + rook: 4.3% of the positions are perpetual check draws, and 37.2% are fortress draws;
king + rook can checkmate a lone king.
Important Chess situations:
- Check - the situation in chess when a king is under immediate attack by opponent's pieces
- Checkmate - the situation in chess when the player whose turn it is to move is in check and has no legal move to escape check.
- Stalemate - the situation in chess when the player whose turn it is to move has no legal move and is not in check.
(draw)
The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king.
Two special moves in Chess:
- Castling is a double move, performed by the king and the rook that never moved.
