When will it be possible to play chu shogi with a computer here?

Just curious.

I don't think it will be possible, since very few engines are designed to analyze Chu Shogi positions, and even that it still would take a lot of time to analyze the positions because there are too many pieces and too many variations of >50 moves (I checked, a Chu Shogi game lasts 300 moves).

Actually, the engine already exists, it is HaChu.
But there are compatibility problems described here lishogi.org/blog/post/Y6kTwxEAAKKgP_sV

It uses different protocol (XBOARD) than our other engines (USI), but more importantly it implements certain rules slightly differently. If there is enough demand for integrating HaChu into lishogi, I will start working on that.

The client allowing to play Chu Shogi with a bot exists. It is ChuDo. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it here.

An issue was created for that topic on GitHub:

I think it is possible,But this computer is probably very stupid.Because chushogi requires too much computer power.So even with a computer, it is almost equal to Novice.Even idiots.

Just try it already implemented ChuDo. If you want, I'll send you the link to it.
But you would need Win 7 or older because on Win 10 it will be crashed.
You may use a virtual machine with Win 7, though.

P.S. Not too stupid computer engine, quite playable.
