How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 29

Yes, the j should have been an i.  GBx9g

BT-7i

Px7i

DKx7i

DK-7d

P-1g

I feel like I'm making dangerous moves again, but Lx4g.

Dangerous, perhaps, but not that dangerous. I can't do much in the way of attacking you, and you can easily retreat.

B-4j

Lnx5h.  I need to get going.  I'm kind of neglecting my kiddos and they need my attention.  I should be a good father right now.  Maybe one more move.

I assume you want to move your lion elsewhere too? If you want to move back, then P-2h is my move. If you'd rather do something else, then I'll probably also make a different move.

Nope, I'd like to leave him there (unless I'm not seeing some danger on that square).  If you make a second move, you add a - or x after the first part of the move to clarify.  If not, I chose to only move one time.

Well, I have a dragon king on 5i...

EDIT: It was moved there on turn 18.

Then I must have made an error somewhere, as the only Dragon King I see is on 7i, per this post.  I killed your other one.  This is what my board looks like:

Gotta go for now.  If I made a mistake, please let me know.

I see what happened. I forgot to specify which dragon king I was moving to 7i. I should only have dragon kings on 5i and 7i. Sorry about that. :P

Oh, I see what I did.  I moved the wrong DK to 5i.  You didn't specify which, and I assumed the wrong one I guess.  We'll maybe need to go back a few moves.  I obviously didn't kill your other one.  I'm just not paying attention.  Anyway, we'll fix it later.

 Any future reader of the thread is going to think you have some brilliant powers of deduction. ;)

Your previous version of the post was more clever.  In any case, you little smart alec, are you sure you're only 14?  ;)

In all seriousness, I forgot which piece I had captured and said the wrong one without looking at the board.  Then when I did look, I realized my error, and pulled a Ric Olie. ;)  Anyway, still hanging with the kids, so we'll fix it in a bit.

Okay, I think the game progressed somewhat the same for a couple moves.  I have placed the correct Dragon King on 7i.  I imagine the next couple moves would have unfolded the same way, with my Dragon King on 7d, your pawn on 1g.  After that is where I would make a different move.  My reason for attacking that flank was to go for what I thought was a weaker area, but I was nervous to leave your lion unattended by my own, as I don't really understand his potential just yet, and didn't want you to decimate my forces in that flank.  Now that I know that side is guarded by that Dragon King, I'm really not inclined to go that way anymore.  If you're okay picking up here, then my move would be P-5e.  If not, let me know and we can backtrack to a different point and play from there.

Was it? I'll change it back then so I don't look as bad. ;) Yes, I'm a naughty little fourteen year-old, but fourteen I am. :D

 Gotcha. But leave the Ric Olies for me!

 I'll play the same move I played originally. B-4j.
