How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 92

I believe it can be, being that he resigned some time ago....

As I do not want to make known the location of the island of my self-imposed exile, I request that you send this information via Passenger Pigeon. The specific pigeon you want will arrive in a flock of several million or so, but can be identified by a small tattoo under its right wing. Do not expect it to come straight to you. It must be singled out from the other pigeons and captured alive. Send it back to me with the details of my kingdoms demise written in invisible ink around its left ankle.

I hope to be able to play another game eventually.  I still don't have much time, but I'd like to play now and then.  Perhaps we can try the latest 3 player game.  I don't mean to bump this just to say I can't do it now, but I feel bad having dropped out, and I want you guys to know that I'd still love to play with you in the near future.

I don't know if I'm quite ready for another game yet. If I keep coming here to make moves, I'll end up getting distracted with all the other threads instead of doing my homework, which has increased lately. :P

I don't see Ric much lately :(  He's more mature than other individuals who are likely at least twice his age.  Perhaps we could get another game going.  I'd probably have to promise only one or two moves a day or else I'd get too distracted.  We could go three player again so all can participate, or we can just go two player.  Either of you up to it?

I'm still lurking around when I don't have too much homework, but I'm afraid the current discussions don't hold much appeal at the moment.

I'd be happy to start another game, but thanks to recent events, Post Praetorian probably won't be joining us. He had to fly back to Alberta recently for business reasons, and I doubt he'll be posting here often in the next few weeks.

Is there any specific game you'd like to play? If not, I suggest we start off with regular shogi, as it's been a while.

Sounds like a good plan to me.  You can go first if you like.  I hope Post is safe in his travels.  It's been nice seeing so much of him.

Alright, let's get started. Hopefully my playing skills aren't too rusty.

My first move is R-6h

P-8d

Sorry it took so long to respond. Again I had to get my software loaded on a new machine.

No need to apologize. I wouldn't have had a chance to make another move anyway.

K-4h

P-8e

P-9f

Let's try something new. S-3b

I think I'll do the same, beginning with my last move.

S-3h

Aha! Then the game is afoot.

B-3a

Let's hope my next move doesn't end up causing me trouble later on.

B-9g

Or me.

P-5d

S-8h

S-6b

G-7i

Probably last move tonight. Gotta go to work.

S-5c

G-5i
