No worries buddy. Out of curiosity, how old are you?

I'm fourteen.

I kind of gather that you are in high school, and if so, I'm impressed by your maturity.

Awww, thanks :D

Anyway, sounds like a plan. I'm glad you're open to these variants and are willing to try this again. I'm not as familiar with this as regular shogi, so I don't have much strategy to offer.

I'll do my best. N-4d

From what I've seen, the knight seems to be a far more valuable piece in the early game then in regular Shogi. I think one of my biggest problems with the small variants will be using my normally weaker pieces effectively and not worrying so much about the bishop and rook.
