The thing I always liked about Fritz (as well as Chessmaster) is the natural language analysis. but i don't play variants so i'm not sure how to help you further beyond suggesting that you not use the default sucks anyway, always has. apparently it won the TCEC beating houdini by 3 points though. however some engines don't support fischer random and i can't tell you for sure if stockfish does.or at least how well it's supported.

the interface itself is basically 'dumb.' it just provides a graphical representation of what would otherwise be boring text on a console screen.yes you can run chess engines from a command line but i wouldn't recommend it. in otherwords, if the engine you're using is programmed to 'know' how to play 960 or bughouse or itz gui will 'play' it. weither a particular engine supports variants is entirely up to the individual engine developer. Side note: fritz supports both UCI and winboard programming standards for chess engines(the fritz engine itself is something else). Not exactly sure i understand what you mean but stockfish is a far superior engine than the default fritz one.
