How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 31

Oh geez, I think I already see one mistake, but I doubt it's the one you're referring to.

EDIT: Yes, I'm sure I know what I did wrong now.  I think I keep confusing the DK and the DH.  You're going to think I have dyslexia or something like that with all the silly mistakes I make.  I'll fix my board and show it to you.  And yes, I don't want to move my lion there in this case.

Does this look like yours (minus my last lion move)?

In spite of the piece confusion, I think I would have played it all the same.  If it looks right, I'll make a different move.

Good.  Finally!  You've been keeping me busy all day!  ;)

Of course I don't mind, it was a fun day playing this game.  Have a good night.  My move when you return is P-5f.

BTW, if you're ever interested in playing the 2x3 variant Dobutsu Shogi, I don't know of any software that allows one to play, but this site has a Java applet:

You just have to sign up.  It would probably have to be a prearranged game, as it's played in real time.

If this is it, it looks like I could probably play with physical pieces. I know you don't have a physical board, but maybe you could mock something up quickly, since it's small? That site you were using before could probably work to. You'd just have to remove all the pieces and choose a section of the board to place the pieces on, using a bishop for the elephant, a king for the lion, etc.

Yeah, it'd probably be easier to make a simple mockup.  I'd enjoy having my own set anyway.  Years ago I made several sets for most of the games we've already played.  Sadly some are in rough shape, but they still function.  It would be good to add to my collection.

Hopefully I'm not overlooking anything. I don't want to find that my Lion has suddenly been trapped and that I waited too long to move it...

8j?  That surprises me.  Not that it's a bad move, but I thought you'd perhaps try to interfere with my pawn if anything.  P-9h

I knew you would expect that, but I didn't see much point in playing with your pawn since I doubt it would have accomplished more than losing an extra piece. By allowing you to move your Pawn ahead again, it's easier for me to get my Lion out of the way.
