To evaluate performance in shogi, we used Elmo version WCSC27 in combination with YaneuraOu 2017 Early KPPT 4.79 64AVX2 TOURNAMENT as a baseline program, using 44 CPU threads (on two 2.2GHz Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs with 22 cores) and a hash size of 32GB with the usi options of EnteringKingRule set to CSARule27, MinimumThinkingTime set to 1000, BookFile set to standard book.db, BookDepthLimit set to 0 and BookMoves set to 200. Additionally, we also evaluated against Aperyqhapaq combined with the same YaneuraOu version and no book ?le. For Aperyqhapaq, we used the same usi options as for Elmo except forthebooksetting.
