'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 Computer Shogi Championship in 2019.

Lishogi, an open source online shogi server, primarily uses YaneuraOu for its analysis and AI opponent features.
