I wonder what will be of the game once the monarch becomes male. Will there be a new game in that case?

Every single finished shogi log is saying a move is illegal for some reason.

From the looks of it, a good amount of logs are going haywire; at some point some specific move is regarded as broken and so it can't display the log on the interface itself

A lot of the logs of some games return error messages:

For Ultima it says that a certain line contains a syntax error, e.g. Syntax Error on line 585

For shogi it says that a given move was done illegally, e.g.:

ILLEGAL: g 4i-5h on turn 6:

The move MOVE: g 4i-5h ain't well-formed. g is a coordinate. So 4i should be a hyphen.

There may be others I haven't noticed.

There hasn't been a new featured variant in a bit and it's worrying me a little.

Win condition is a bit unclear, as is it reads that producing a dragon is enough to win.

I forgot to check if there's anything for April. Guess it's a bit late for me this month.
