Hello Hiraoka,

Apery application is very strong and beats most of its opponents!!

Could you please download ShogiGUI http://shogigui.siganus.com/ and make an English translation of all commands like new game-engine tournament-add engine etc.?

I have some problems with the implementation of these chess engines and Shogidokoro-Interface http://www.geocities.jp/shogidokoro/download.html

Kifu Warabe 1.15 http://grayscale.iza-yoi.net/shogi/download.html can be implemented, but before its first move appears this message: "DII Not Found Exception Unable to load dll Lua52. The specified module was not found. Exception from HRE Result 0x8007007E (annotation: previous versions show not such a behaviour, but play illegal moves) - by the way: download of lua52.dll http://api.256file.com/download/97466_lua52.dll and replace the existing lua52.dll by this file does not solve this problem - it was tried to load a file with the wrong format (Bad Image Format Exception) - a 5-min-byoyomi engine-match vs. Lesserkai 1.4.1 (built-in) or other USI Shogi software is impossible Debug - Windows

WinBoard http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=51528 and http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/shokidoki.html supports Shogi too. Have you tried out v4.8.0 in combination with your engine?
