There is a very interesting project for chess building a Stockish cluster:

https://mattplayschess.com/cluster-overview/

https://mattplayschess.com/stockfish-cluster/

Or here:

https://github.com/Egbert-Azure/stockfish-cluster

or, with pictures, Folkert van Heusden's Embla Pi cluster and other variants:

https://www.chessprogramming.org/Raspberry_Pi

Because the cluster version is naturally Multi PV (in theory at least) you get your own low energy version of Rent-a-Rybka aka Rybka cluster that is running much wider than all the regular Stock. Now a cluster variant for a new chess variant and you can make money with it or maybe develop an AI that does not break the electricity net.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Not many new computers you can buy which are less powerful than the ones used in the golden age of dedicated chess computers: you'd have to go very cheap, very small, and just milliamps of power.
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory
