Since I figured out how to make the Ludii Player show the last move, I decided to try one more game with it set to its maximum thinking time of 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes. As before, it moved out its Queen and let it get chased around a bit. Overall, it played very poorly, and it was checkmated in 32 moves, making this game even shorter than previous games with less thinking time for Ludii. In the endgame, it seemed to just give up, letting checkmate come even more quickly than it had to. Based on this, I would conclude that Ludii is not nearly as good at playing Chess variants as the Interactive Diagram is. And since that is itself a low bar, my conclusion is that Ludii is not very good for Chess variants. Here's the game:
