How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 24

I did consider that and I guess I should have gone with it. I say we begin a new game. I'll go first so we don't waste any time.

T-2iv+L

G-2i+N

How well do you like this game compared to the others?

Man, I am so tired and I have to get up early.  I need to get to bed.  Take care, and have a great night!

Assuming you missed an "i", I move L-2iii+T.

I like this one quite a bit, actually. It's difficult to play, but a lot of fun. I like how there aren't a lot of pieces, but since they switch back and forth the variety of moves isn't lost. This allows for a lot of possibilities that wouldn't exist in regular Shogi, though it can be limiting in other ways. I find I have to plan ahead a lot more, which is good practice since I'm fairly bad at that most of the time.

 You too. I should probably follow suit. I really shouldn't be staying up so late, but at least I don't have to get up that early most of the time.

I am curious, did you alter your first move?  Not that I mind, but I see the post was edited, and I thought you had moved your tokin to 1iv, not 2iv.  If so, I responded to the wrong move.  If not, I'm a dunce, though I can live with the move I made.

Yeah, it's a tricky game that requires a lot of planning, but it's really fun.  I am enjoying it much more than in the past, just because you're my playing partner.

T-4ii+L

I'm back! No, I did not alter my move, just fixed a fragmentary sentence. Also, what move did you make? You didn't confirm that I had guessed what it was correctly. You called G-2i+L, but either you missed an 'i' or you were looking at the first part of the move on Zillions, which is the square you moved it from, not to. I assumed you meant G-2ii+L and moved accordingly.

Does that mean you enjoy playing a human player, or am I just a great guy? ;)

Cool.

You guessed correctly, though I wish I'd moved to either side of that, as I was hoping to promote my piece to a knight and attack your first moved piece.  Oh well.

Both :)

 I'll make my move when I can.  I'm at work now.  Glad to have you back. :)

Wow, nice timing. I've been away from home since 4:30 and I just logged on to my computer about five minutes ago.

I'm glad.  You must have a smart phone and be subscribed to this thread so that you are sent an email and then your phone notifies you of the new post to the subscribed thread, because you so often reply so quickly to my posts no matter the time of day.

Lx4v+T check

Kx4v

Actually, the reason I respond so quickly is because I homeschool and do most of my schoolwork on or near my laptop. I have desktop notification for my gmail and so I reply whenever I see a box pop up for my email notification for this thread. I also spend a lot of time on my computer in the evenings, which is why I'm so quick to reply then.

S-5ii+B

I was pretty sure you were homeschooled as well, considering how much time you clearly are available to respond to to me and how late you get away with staying up on school nights :)
