How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4 — Page 98

My board looks like this:

LNS---KNL
---G-GSB-

I think I forgot to specify which gold moved to 5b in the past, which was supposed to be the gold on 6a to start.  If we were to correct it from there, I doubt you need to take back any moves, but of course the option is yours.  I think you'd still be quite content with your position.

That said, I don't know if you still see what I've done as an error.  I see only a crappy situation that I'm not sure I can fix.

Yeah, I moved the wrong one. Everything's in order now. If you're no longer enjoying the game, let me know. We can start a new one, with a lesser handicap (or none at all; maybe I just need to play more aggressively to have a closer game), or maybe play a new variant.

Well, I don't think that'd be fair just yet.  Let's see what I can try, and maybe a couple moves down the road I'll resign.

They'd look a lot bleaker if you'd made the move I wanted you to make. ;)

Don't know what it was, but I'm glad I didn't make it.

Man, I don't know.  I see no way out of this mess. :(

I'm OK with starting another game, if you want. Maybe some faster games. My computer keeps crashing and I constantly have to redo the last few moves that I forgot to save...

Yeah, I resign.  The handicap was far too great for me.  You are too good a player to give you such an advantage.

It's your call what to play next.

I vote for GoroGoro Shogi. I'd like to go back to playing some small variants, as I don't think we've done that in a while.

You can start when you're ready. I may not be able to move very often in the next couple weeks, but we'll see.

Actually, that is exactly what I hoped you would choose.  I will fire it up shortly.

Haha, happy birthday. :)

EDIT: Do the "reply", "bookmark", "report", etc. buttons look like part of your signature for you too, or is it just me?

Oh, and yes, my signature is looking screwy.  I'll try to fix it when I can.
