Knight - 3c
The shorter way to write that is N-3c right?

 Yes, N-3c is correct. In case you were not aware or had forgotten, remember that there are only two spaces at a time to which you can move your knight: forward two squares and to either the left or the right. I don't mean that you're making a mistake here, but just remember that a knight in Shogi is a far weaker piece than in Chess.

All right cool.

Duly noted.

I also got to get to some other stuff both on-line and off. So expect my next move a few hours from now. Sometime during the late night. Also I'd like if you check the link to make sure I moved the right piece. Thanks!

As far as I can tell, all your pieces are in the right places (as far as I can tell because I don't read Japanese :)).

This is entertaining.  Again, I'm glad Twister found that site, and it's fun to have the gifs to keep us entertained.  I can follow along much better than she could in my games, I'm sure.

I think the links will prove helpful, and it's probably easier than posting pictures (not that I would know :P), so I'm glad she's doing that too.

EDIT: I've noticed that Leonardo has been viewing this topic from time to time. Are you following along Leo, or just popping in once in a while? And would you be interesting in playing sometime, or do you prefer the sidelines?

Yeah when I was following along with the previous games I was primarily awaiting the pics. It's much easier for me to get into a game with visual reference rather than notation. I thought about downloading that software you linked earlier on but that seemed a bit much for me to just follow a game and not be a participant. Before I found that site I was going to copy and paste an image of the board into paint and move the pieces with the select tool. Then upload the resulting image into my tumblr then post the link. This way is a lot easier.http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5882/ihty2.gif

Well you don't need to read Japanese just compare the pieces to the earlier post. Though I do understand if it seems more like some random design to you. I used to be like that. Just for fun I'll post a chinese character that is pronounced "ta".

 Just my compulsory habit of viewing every thread.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I will be able to play.

 Okay, I see.

d_ender, unless you're too busy, I wouldn't mind playing two games at once. I would just quote my opponent so that you could tell in which game I made the move.

Since both you and Twister generally don't reply more than once a day unless we're online at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem but I would get more playing time. ;)

 Sure.  I think things are a little calmer for now.  I'll be working the next four days, which can mean quite a bit of time unavailable, but I think I can keep a game going.  I'm playing chess, after all :)  Wanna go first?
