I assume you are playing on the spreadsheet instead of the zillions file, right? I suggest using zillions since the notation is consistent, and it we are not consistent with the spreadsheet.
I'm using the spreadsheet. I've written in the coordinates, so they should match up unless the coordinates are done differently than in Kokusai Sannin. My dad may not be ready to play just yet, so we'll have to be patient for a little while. I think I'll take back my move, so he can make the first move when he's ready. It messes up our old order, but at least we're not stuck waiting between moves one and two.
I just realized that I likely wouldn't have ended up playing Shogi with you if you had made this thread just one week earlier than you did.
And why is that?
I only started frequenting Off Topic at the very end of November, so if you'd made your thread a bit earlier, it would have dropped off the first page by that time. Then I would have never been introduced to Shogi... :'(
It would be better if you moved first, Ric as that is the way the Zillions game is set to run. I might need a bit of coaching in how the notation lines up to start with...I'm ready when you are.

I did not play Shogi with you before that? I suppose it is possible...I stopped playing shortly after one of the pieces on my board went missing during one of our moves.

The notation is definitely different on Zillions. Just right-click on the board, and under the "show" option, you select "labels", and all your cells are identified. I have to be honest that the tiny script has caused issues for me with my poor eyesight, when I incorrectly and without thinking said I'd moved to impossible or stupid squares. But if your huge blue eyeball has good vision, it shouldn't be a problem for you, and I'll try to be careful when reading.

If we did play together, it was a long time ago, as I don't have any recollection of doing so.
My first move is Pf3-g4.

I am sure to be able to manage it!

Post meaning following and Praetorian being a guard to the Roman emperors, does "I was once...but now I'm not..." refer to your lost faith and defense of the Catholic faith?
No, no, you've got it all wrong. It's Ric...Ric Olie.

Praetorians within the Catholic Church are charged with performing the Liturgy Of The Hours--typically done before daily Mass in the more conservative churches. My other former designations equally read as a series of military enrollments...a member of the Blue Army, a Legionary of Mary, a Knight Of Columbus...
Thus your assessment is accurate. Where once I was a zealot, now I am not.

Silly, don't you now that it's spelled "night," meaning that it should be abbreviated as "N"?

I miss when I had the time to chat more here. I seldom have time to post more than a move, and when I do have time to write something, it's when I'm at work and away from my computer :(
