Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27666 (project xboard): Well, one thing is sure: this is not Shogi. Shogi is played on a 9x9 board.
There is no way to prevent ICS operators picking a name for their boards that is identical to the name of an XBoard variant, while it is in fact a board for an unrelated variant. It can run a suicide game under the name crazyhouse, or call nocastle frc, etc. This is a good way to wreck proper operation of the client. In general this should be considered an error of the ICS. In this particular case it could be solved by beefing up the variant-recognition heuristic, to give priority to recognizing 'misc' over 'shogi', and recognize it as 'normal', so that 'misc shogi' would be recognized as 'normal'. Would this be worth it? H.G.
