General game-playing engine with Shogi variants included

I'm cross-posting this announcement (by another user) from the Board Games Geek Shogi forum.
-----
Stephen Tavener's program Ai Ai is a Java-based general game playing engine. Recently a lot of Shogi variants were added to Ai Ai. There is also online play available.

I haven't tried to install/use it yet, but it looks rather interesting?

Efren, hi.

Not sure if I fully understand your comment. I haven't had a chance to investigate this beast yet, but if you are asking:

"Is this an internet-based Java application?"

then, my understanding is that the answer is: 

"No, it is a stand-alone application which runs on your computer without being connected to the internet."(*)

If I've understood correctly, it is possible to connect to the internet to play against other people.

--------

(*) From my point of view, this is fine - every internet based program I have ever tried, (non-games applications) has been broken, so I have little faith in them.

Sounds quite nicer, but… isn't Java working anymore in a movile web briwser? 
… so i have to wait to get home to try it.
