The Awari Oracle was a web frontend of a remote database containing the eventual outcome of all the 889,063,398,406 positions that can occur during a game of Awari, a variant of Oware. The Awari rules were invented by the computer scientists Victor Allis, Maarten van der Meulen, and H. Jaap van den Herik in 1991. They differ from Oware as follows:

  • The Awari Oracle was a web frontend of a remote database containing the eventual outcome of all the 889,063,398,406 positions that can occur during a game of Awari, a variant of Oware. The Awari rules were invented by the computer scientists Victor Allis, Maarten van der Meulen, and H. Jaap van den Herik in 1991. They differ from Oware as follows: * A position that is repeated for the third time (the Oracle stops after the second repetition) results in a even division of the remaining stones, including a possible odd stone. * It is not allowed to do a move that leaves the opponent without countermove, unless all moves eradicate the opponent and at least one seed is left on the player's own side. If the opponent is eradicated by a capture the remaining stones are awarded to the player on whose side they are. The first rule is only used by computer scientists, but not by human players. It can lead to strange results such as 23.5 vs 24.5 seeds. The second rule is used in some Oware variants, but not in tournaments. The international rules (abapa) permit a player to do such a move, but then he captures nothing.
