How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 52

Come on ender, I know you're online... ;)

Gs-6

You know, I'm still having thoughts about those flying generals.  I'm not positive, but it might be fun to have that be the promoted face of the silver cannon.  If so, it could be a powerful piece, but still not invulnerable, especially considering our current promotion rules (dropping only weak face up and alternating promotion/demotion, which means if one were to use it for a flying attack, it would immediately demote to the weaker face).  It might be useful for breaking up stalemate positions like we might have here.

S-16

Hopefully that will get the action going again without it going badly for me. :)

About the flying generals: I think they may work as just a promoted value. Some time when I'm less tired I'll try working out a balanced piece of that sort. I don't want to get rid of the RC though...

Though I don't want to lose, I kind of hope it works out for you too, as I want to see that a good offense with some sacrifice can shut down stagnant positions.  But I won't make it easy, even if you did effectively get through.

Gsx16+Ph

Wasn't sure if I really wanted to do it, but P-15

Ph-12

P-16

Phx16+Gs

SCx16+RC

Whoops, I forgot to account for that promotion when I was planning ahead. Other than that, I predicted your last four moves exactly. :)

P*18

That's good.  That's how you have to play.  I hope you have been predicting your own moves equally well.  You still have a significant advantage.  Don't blow it ;)

RCx17+SC

I bet you predicted that one too.

I did, though I wasn't sure you would want to bother trading for the same piece.

My king is still on 31, though, is it not? I hope I didn't mess up again...

It is still on 31, but I'm checking you with my SC.

Well, duh. Sorry. :P

FSx20+B

Are you sure that's what you want to do?

P*30 mate.

Yeah, I think that's what I wanted to do.  Are you sure that's what you wanted to do?

Um...well then. I forgot you had a captured pawn. I guess I wanted to do that, but I do not want to have done that anymore.

Take it back, and we'll go from there.

Alright, but we'll say that you still won, even if I make a comeback and defeat you in the end.
