Shogi Perft numbers

[JohnWoe]

My engine RubyShogi seems to get startpos perft numbers correct per se: http://tonyjh.com/chess/technical/
I wrote a random position generator to see whether RubyShogi gets all perft numbers correct?
At least RubyShogi plays under Xboard w/o issues.

I have only a move generator for Shogi, and I have the same result than Ferdy, but not for the 3rd position :

Code: Select all

total = 1021

I didn't spend lots of time on it, I must be wrong.

I think mine is not correct as it does not consider a pawn drop checkmate in 1 move. But when playing it will not make such move.

Will try to find the source code.

Tony had an interesting shogi position for perft from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32014&hilit=perft+shogi


Or



The perft of current released Siyam v0.43 is wrong here because it considers a pawn drop at i8 as legal.

Big thanks to Ferdy!

Yeah my RubyShogi was full of bugs. Horse moves were buggy. This pawn drop checkmate was wrong. Drops were wrong...

Hopefully my numbers are now correct. I can finally start polishing RubyShogi.

Note that in Shogi it is a matter of taste whether you consider some moves as illegal, or as a legal move that loses, as it has the rule that any illegal move loses. In an engine it is usually simpler to consider Pawn-drop mates as a move that loses. Then you can use the normal mate detection, and just flip the result if the previous move was a Pawn drop. But in perft this approach gives different results.

A similar concern applies to repetitions; I don't think that Chess perfts take account of 50-move draws or 3-fold repetitions. (And there is some justification for that, as these are just claiming opportunities, and not forced game ends.) In Shogi perpetual checking is forbidden, though. (but only on 4-fold repetition.) Also here there is the choice to consider it legal but losing (where it should be counted in perft) or illegal.

There actually is a true ambiguity in the official Shogi rules here. Someone designed a problem where one side must perpetually check to avoid being mated in one. But in one point of the loop the only evasion to this check is a Pawn drop that also checks. From which the only evasion then is to capture that dropped Pawn, again checking. The 4th time you get to that position, one can argue that capturing the Pawn would be illegal, because it completes a 4-fold repeated perpetual check sequence. But then the Pawn drop is a checkmate, since its capture was the only evasion, and would be illegal too. That player then has to play something different, and is subsequently checkmated in one. OTOH, if the repetition is legal but losing, the Pawn drop just forces a losing move. Which is allowed, after which the other side must go on making the losing perpetual or deviate and get mated. The current rules do not resolve this ambiguity.

[Ferdy]

Note that in Shogi it is a matter of taste whether you consider some moves as illegal, or as a legal move that loses, as it has the rule that any illegal move loses.

In wiki/shogi at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi, disregarding its consequences, the wording for pawn drop checkmate seemed like it is really not allowed.

A pawn cannot be dropped to give an immediate checkmate.

So in Siyam's perft I will not count such move, just like a king moving into check is not considered in perft. Will release the version that implements it later.

Empty sq = 81 - 5 = 76
Pawn cannot drop at i8 = 1

The Lance must promote on the last rank, h2h9 is not legal.
