Blitz tournament 3.

[Ferdy]

Tournament Nr 3 is finished and is won by Shokidoki.

[hgm]

Soon CrazyWa will be able to play mini-Shogi too. During my holiday I added the code necessary for that (for figuring out the result in case of a repetition, depending on if it was a perpetual check, or the color). But it still has to be debugged a bit. (Although it already beat Sjaak II 1.4.1 by 58-42 in bullet games.)

[hgm]

I just released a version of CrazyWa were all 6 variants work (see other thread). Mini-Shogi is amongst those. In a quick bullet test (40 moves/min, mainly intended to see if there were no crashes / forfeits) it beat Sjaak II 1.4.1 by 63-37.

It seemed like Nebiyu had been claiming draws by repetition without being caught by WB.

Sample game where Lima thought it won but Nebiyu claimed it as draw.

I am using WB 4.9.170105.

[Ferdy]

I found a NebiyuAlien 1.46 which seemed to solved its problems in repeats.
But now there seems to be a problem in WB 4.9.170105, it falsely forfeits an engine due to invalid move.

Tried WB 4.8.0 and there are still invalid moves. It seems like Nebiyu 1.46 has triggered invalid moves from WB.
