As a further test, I conducted a game of Chess between Ludii and Ed Friedlander's Chess applet. The Chess applet did better for most of the game, scooping up lots of material, but it had trouble pressing its advantage in the endgame. It kept on checking the King with its Queen without bringing in more material. The Java Applet declared itself the winner, but it reset the board before reaching checkmate, and I suspect it was a drawn game by the 50 moves rule. Since neither kept track of the moves, I'm not sure how many moves went by in pointless checks.

Since a Shogi variant might introduce complexities into the game that could make the AI play more poorly, I tried a game of Chess against Ludii. I easily won that game too. It threw away material and rarely captured my pieces.

I played a game of George Dekle's Hexshogi on this website and easily won. For some reason, it never captured any of my pieces, which quickly gave me a huge lead.
