lol I made this challenge, the rule is so simple but it's actually really difficult

#4

Correct winning on time does not count.
The bot will struggle to play a long game of Shogi at 3+2. We suggest playing with a byoyomi period of at least 10s

Also I move second so yeah keep that in mind, the board is flipped the wrong way for some reason..
Maybe I should've called it "The Marsh of the Generals"

#7

No way, I got pretty lucky!!

If he had dropped Silver-47 instead of playing Gold-47 I'd had to try another game. Even after that he still had a chance to defend... so yeah, pretty lucky I'd say.
