1st Mini Shogi Computer Association Championships 2017

[hgm]

I am preparing a package with Shokidoki for the UEC Cup now. (I hope I am not too late. I thought the deadline was the 27th, but I now read it might be the 20th.) You still want me to put Lima in there?

Yes. Version 4 available for download is compiled for modern processors, 3 hours from now I will upload 32bit and 64bit for older processors.

[hgm]

What is the link to Lima v4-00? On your downloadpage it only shows v2-00? Or does that now point to a later version?

@Evert: Will Sjaak II be participating?

Just uploaded a pack of Lima v4.0 with 32bit, 64bit and 64bit pop.
Just use this newly compiled 64bit pop.

Thank you.

@Evert: Will Sjaak II be participating?

I had planned to enter it, yes. However, I was also under the impression that the deadline for registration was later than it apparently is. I'll check to see whether it's still possible to enter.

However, I still haven't been able to reproduce the reported problems, and I'd wanted to get those cleared up before the next release. I won't have time to do anything about that before the UEC cup one way or the other...

Well, Takeshi Ito wrote me that the cold-turky deadline for program submission is February 27. (This to give the operators time to practice; you probably could change the executablejust a few days before the actual tourney.) I just sent the package with Shokidoki and Lima Friday night. In fact there were some Sjaak II executables in there too (left over from earlier years), I just did not check if they worked. I thought you changed the piece values for the MSCA Championship, though?

Well, I contacted the organisers (through the e-mail address on the website) to ask if I could still enter SjaakII, but i have not heard ba,ck from them, so I guess I'm not participating.

[hgm]

As the games of the 10th UEC Cup at GAT 2017 were still not available on the UEC Minerva website, I e-mailed Takeshi Ito to inquire about them. He was so friendly to mail me at least the PGN files produced by the engines playing under WinBoard (Shokidoki and Lima). I posted them below. Unfortunately the names of Japanese opponents, no doubt entered in Shift-JIS encoding, show up as gibberish, so I added them by hand from the file titles.
