Shiga,
a Chinese Chess program by Shi-Jim Yen and Ming-Cheng Cheng, so far the most successful program participating at ICGA Computer Olympiads, winning 5 times the gold medal, and 6 times silver. In the 2004 ICGA Journal introduction Computer Chinese Chess, Shiga was characterized as knowledge-based program written in Visual Basic reaching 10 to 11 ply in a minute ^[1] In 2011, Shiga was already designed to run on multiple processors to search more than 20 plies of a type-B kind of search ^[2] along with a fine-tuned pattern-matching system.
