I think we're getting close, but unless I do something stupid or you do something really smart, I think I can hold off for another twenty turns or so (granted, that is slightly optimistic, but if I play well...).
And...I lasted nine more turns. :)
So one would hope, but they could be just as bad. I say don't get your expectations too high and then you'll better enjoy the movie when it comes.
Gotcha, good game.
I was considering a drop earlier, but I decided to do it a turn later. I wasn't really allowing for paratrooping, which I see I should have.
I meant that that is no where near my King. I think you typed the wrong drop in.
Is that a typo...?

No problem.

I dropped my SG on 4g, not 4h, so you may want to correct that.

I had my rook exactly where I wanted it: on 8h (you can see the move on the last page). You had it placed on 9h in the diagram. I will wait to move to see if you wanted to place it in the correct spot. FYI, the picture of all the Links is a link to the updated diagram (minus your most recent move).
I had it wrong on my board, but it's fixed now. At least it wouldn't have affected my mother moves too much.
I didn't get the picture before...clever. :)

Thanks a bunch. Sorry I hadn't kept up with it.

Note that I also corrected my promoted rook's position, which I noticed was incorrect. Otherwise, I think you got it, and thanks again :)
To clarify, was it you or me who had your promoted rook in the wrong spot? If it was me, then could you give me the right coordinates, because I imagine that might affect my moves a bit.
Now you do! :)
The Christmas liturgical season ends on the feast of the Baptism of Christ which is the Sunday after Epiphany (which for Catholics is the nearest Sunday to the sixth of January). The octave of Christmas (that's Christmas-Christmas*) begins on December 25 (Christmas-Christmas-Christmas* ;) ) and ends after seven more days, making it eight days in total (of course).
*We don't actually call it that. ;)
And here is your link.
EDIT: It's not working, give me a minute.
...OK, I think I've got it now.
Oops, sorry.
You have:
2 Gold Generals,
2 Knights,
and 5 Pawns.
I have:
1 Lance,
1 Silver General,
2 Knights,
and 1 Pawn.
Ender, you didn't mention that yesterday was the last day of the liturgical season of Christmas for Catholics. ;)
January 13:
A.D. 1559: Coronation of Queen Elizabeth I.
A.D. 1863: Thomas Crapper pioneers in the toilet industry (specifically in the one-piece pedestal flushing toilet).
Poor guy, look what we did to his last name.

...Vader's new line replacing "Bring my shuttle!" is so much better. With the old line we were left wondering, "Where is Darth Vader going? Will the people on the Star Destroyer be sufficiently prepared for his arrival?" Now everything is clear and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
...
In ROTJ we are treated to an all new music video called "Lappy Neck" or something like that. The talent and CGI displayed in the video was so good that I think they should go back and replace Star Wars with a musical saga, replacing all puppets with CGI and adding a whole bunch of new ones who can pop out from behind trees and stuff and sing (I can see it now: Star Wars: A Musical Hope followed by The Tenor Strikes Back and Rehearsal of the Jedi and preceded by The Phantom Vocalist, Attack of the Notes, and Remix of the Sith).
...
Perhaps best of all is that we get to see the tender young Anakin Skywalker, with the appearance of our beloved protaganist from the prequel trilogy, whereas before that scene was a "Who the heck is that guy?" moment, which detracted from the emotional impact of the scene. Now we see more clearly the tender love between father and son as young Anakin sheepishly smiles at his son and all former misunderstandings fall away. What better way to end the saga?
...How could anyone take this serious?
Thanx, I had fun reading this! :)
Thanks, I'm glad some people have a sense of humour. :)

I don't think you have 20 turns left, but I am a little frustrated at how I've played, as it's taking longer than it should have.
Well, I was being optimistic, but you're probably right. All you need is a couple well-placed drops and we're done.
Sx2h+ check (not sure how you mark that in shogi notation)
Kx2h
JEDIT: When you get the chance, would you post a link of our position and include the pieces we both have in hand. I'm about to head out to work and won't be home till tonight, but I should have time to make a couple of moves while there.
Here it is.

Someone else is going to have to keep track. It's time for bed for me. Frink, you have to promise not to get there tonight (or tomorrow morning).

EDIT: I just realized that after so many lost games of Chess and Shogi my goal is no longer to checkmate my opponent's king, but to rather to survive as long as I can. :P

Perhaps. Still gotta remove at least one piece from its spot.

I'm taking a bit of a risk here, but I think I would be worse off if I didn't take it.
