So , If I look correctly you did two tests with the elo result total inversed?
Something like that. I can improve play in mini-Shogi, or in regular Shogi, but only at significant cost to the other.
Of course, what this means is that I need to find the correct way to tell these apart and scale the evaluation terms appropriately. Easier said than done, of course.

Ok, I've found something that works: if I scale the king-safety term related to threatened squares around the enemy king by board size, this seems to improve play for both mini-Shogi and regular Shogi, while it's perfectly neutral for Crazyhouse. A test for Tori Shogi is still running.
What makes me uneasy is that I don't see why that type of scaling is reasonable: it gives more weight to having safe squares near the king on a smaller board, which seems more like a general mobility term (controlling squares on the enemy side of the board) than a king-safety term...
