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

I can't believe it...when I made that move, I had confused the silver cannon and the flying falcon (I wasn't thinking of it as a cannon at all). Now I feel silly.

I'll let you decide whether that merits being taken back or if I just need to pay more attention. ;)

EDIT: To save time if you choose the former, I would move SC-20.

I would certainly enjoy another game of Ito Shogi. It's been a while since we played.

G-22

Goodness, that's a long board. How does it work in Zillions? Zillions doesn't seem to allow scrolling, necessitating visibility of the whole board, which I can't imagine would work well with such a long one.

Also, are we allowing only weak-side-up drops? That seemed to be our consensus last time we played, but I'm not sure if the rules you sent me had an error in that regard, or if you had changed your mind about it.

I really hate when the word 'random' is used in place of 'various'.
This site has several offending thread titles, but I can deal. It's been popping up everywhere in go though.
It bugs me almost as much as hearing people say "I could care less".
At least it doesn't have the opposite meaning of what is meant.

Like it or not, it's a well-established English phrase, though I avoid using it myself at all costs (not quite all, but a good number of them).

But I can't check you if I'm already in check myself. ;)

The game is designed to be played by little kids, so I'm not surprised it ended quickly. I kept thinking of the raccoon as being akin to a rook, so I thought I was going to be able to save myself this move.

We could try another small variant. I've got two weeks left to play.
