YaneuraOu (やねうら王, lit. 'King Yaneura')) is a free and open source shogi engine. Being one of the first shogi engines to implement an efficiently updatable neural network, it won the 29th annual World Shogi Computer Championship in 2019. It supports the Universal Shogi Interface communication protocol (a dialect of the Universal Chess Interface used by most chess engines), which gives it compatibility with most shogi programs. Lishogi, an open source online shogi server, primarily uses YaneuraOu for its analysis and AI opponent features.
