How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 90

And then truly the unexpected: DE opts for the long game: P*c3

I was once…but now I’m not… Further: zyzzogeton

“It wasn’t the flood that destroyed the pantry…”

L h6x+j6

L j6-i4

DE then considered several serious moves before enacting plan C: 

S i7-h6

“It wasn’t the flood that destroyed the pantry…”

P d6xd5

DE finally decides to evict the gold general:

Sh6-j7

Ric adds another pawn to his collection:

Pc4xd5

G k6-j5

DE, muttering something about too much gingerbread and not enough cookies, suddenly changes tactics and instead lunges at low-hanging fruit:

B j8xg2

L *d7

Pi8-h8

Does Ric really like pawns, or does he have deeper motivations? (Tune in next time to find out):

Nxh7

...clearly he does not like knights...

L d7xh7

Now DE is truly puzzled as to why he moved that last pawn...no matter, he thinks he can recover with:

N i9-g6

So long as it ends up on h6...

I assume you meant N d4xc6...because that's what you wrote.

G b7 x c6

Yes, but in this case you could have also meant the one on i8.

Sh6-g7

P*f1

Yes,

Good!

What other case might there be?

you could have

But probably would not have!

Only rarely!

the one

And who might ever claim such a singularity?

on i8.

Oh. I suppose I should have waited out your sentence entire prior to jumping to conclusions...sorry about it....

Sh6-g7

P*f1

 +L h3 x f3 (whilst making the nom nom sound, no less)

Now, DE, sighing sadly for having to ruin his erstwhile effort at building towards so straight a line, opts for the very tempting:

B g2xf3

I assume that lance was capturing on g3, not f3.
