It's true, though, it can't really be considered a pronoun. I withdraw my statement.
That would have been a short game.

Of course you are right. Silly me!

We aren't playing checkers. ;)

Not to be a contrarian, or anything, but I don't have to move K-e2, actually, nor will I (insert emoti with crossed arms here).
R-f2
And forget my moaning about the horses not being able to jump. ;)
I'm still in trouble, though.
''Our'' is a possessive pronoun.
According to what you wrote on the spreadsheet, we can only jump over our own pieces, so I don't think you're in check. I assume your move will change.

What is Darth Vader's new name? I can't tell if it sounds more like ''Darth Dater'', ''Darth Tater'', or ''Darth Data''...
Darth Tater.
That's what I thought was most likely (and best). Too bad you couldn't come up with something original, though. ;P

How come nobody wished us Canadians a happy Canada Day? ;)

Sure, let's give Shogi4 a go.
I'll be pretty busy during the last bit of July and the beginning of August, but after that I'll have time to play. I won't be homeschooling next year, so I'll have about the same amount of time I had this year.
While I am disappointed to leave yet another game of Kokusai Sannin unfinished (have we played even one game to the end?), the slow and painful end of the game can be imagined easily enough, and since I don't win, it isn't worth continuing. ;)
If you want to play another game, ender, I must warn you that we only have 18 days to finish it, as I shall be returning to Alberta not too long from now.
I'll stick with what I did. I don't think your moves would change much (aside from the order), so there isn't much point.

I'm finding it really annoying that knights can't jump in this game, especially since I keep forgetting about it.
I can't believe I forgot about that elephant.

Ah, carp. I lost the last few moves when my computer crashed yesterday and I seem to have missed a move when I was fixing that (and forgot I had already made that move, apparently).
My move shall be H-g4.
Always saving the best for yourself. ;)

For the majority of this game, I have thought that it would be more fair to you if you could illuminate protected pieces--perhaps just one at a time (I can't remember if multiple simultaneous illuminations are allowed).

(That's the chariot, but I don't want it confused with the cannon.)
