So, since only Ric and Frink ever click on this thread, and since only Ric actually cares about the posts I make, I will address this post to RicOlie_2, my not so young friend. How old are you at this point? Time really flies! You must be like 17 now, eh?
Anyway, I finally broke down and purchased a real shogi set.
I had a homemade crappy set with foamboard for the board and bakeable clay for pieces, with the intial for the name and an illustration of the movement. It was ugly but serviceable. Well, this new board is nice, and I’ve taught a patient on my floor in the hospital how to play. He really has enjoyed it. He also sucks big time.
It’d be fun to play you again sometime. I know I am busy, but one of these days I would like to try another game. Perhaps we can do it via PM to avoid clunking up Off Topic, or maybe we can even use the software to play in more real time. I’ve thought about it and I doubt it will cause an issue.
