Mini shogi engines and rating list

[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.

NebiyuAlien 1.46 pack can be found at,
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 90&t=50012

By replacing some Nebiyu setting in alien.ini file, WB no longer falsely forfeits engines.

Modify alien.ini file that is included in the 1.46 pack and use the following settting, replace the previous one.

I think Evert cured this recently. It was the consequence of Sjaak considering any repetition a loss for the side causing it. This was based on the idea that if the side that wins by repetition could not get the opporunity to repeat 4 times if the side that loses by repetition would avoid any repetition. But the current game shows this idea to be false: the 4 occurrences of the final position are reached by 4 different moves from 4 positions that occurred for the first time (Rb5-a5, Rd5-a5, Be2-c4, Bd5-c4).
