Oh, I see what I did. I moved the wrong DK to 5i. You didn't specify which, and I assumed the wrong one I guess. We'll maybe need to go back a few moves. I obviously didn't kill your other one. I'm just not paying attention. Anyway, we'll fix it later.
Then I must have made an error somewhere, as the only Dragon King I see is on 7i, per this post. I killed your other one. This is what my board looks like:
Gotta go for now. If I made a mistake, please let me know.
Gotta go for now. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Clever :) Not sure how many would want to join. I do like the "Rambling" describer best. I think we should create a culture around our team, filled with legends and superstition, kind of like the Chicago Cubs and the Billy Goat Hex. Anyway, it's a bizarre idea, but I thought I'd throw it out there. ;)
Nope, I'd like to leave him there (unless I'm not seeing some danger on that square). If you make a second move, you add a - or x after the first part of the move to clarify. If not, I chose to only move one time.
Lnx5h. I need to get going. I'm kind of neglecting my kiddos and they need my attention. I should be a good father right now. Maybe one more move.
Yeah, that thread was the shizz (Mormon swear word replacement, FYI). I was thinking we could even compile our own Hitchhiker's Guide to OT.com. It could be a little movement in the Off Topic section!
I feel like I'm making dangerous moves again, but Lx4g.
Yeah, it's pretty silly. I don't really think I'd be able to keep it up. TV's Frink used to be good at keeping up games with silly rules, but we'd have to drum up the ghost of the former Frink to ask him to take charge of this sort of thing.

Well, I was just thinking that we could all be part of this elite team, but not really play any games. Rather we'd sit around in my bar discussing silly things. We could have other areas linked in the OP of Darth's Drinks. We could have related threads called The Bar, The Psychic, The Greenhouse, The Mental Health Center, etc. Doesn't it sound like weird fun?

Yes, the j should have been an i. GBx9g

I'm thinking we should start up a virtual sports team that can somehow imagine playing a game online. I suggest the following sports and wonder who would be interested in what:
Bowling
Softball
Badminton
I also suggest we come up with a silly name. I will list a few adjectives and nouns and am open to suggestions as to how they should be combined:
Adjectives:
Idiotic
Foolish
Rambling
Silly
Foolish
Ignominious
Unadulterated
Gawking
Nouns:
Morons
Loners
Losers
Weirdos
Misfits
Hotheads
Goobers
Scumsuckers
I don't know how interesting this might be. Perhaps we could pretend to have a bar called Darth's Drinks, and maybe create a newsletter.
Obviously neither of us is effective with our Lions at present, but to give you an idea of his value, look again at the wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chu_shogi#Piece_values
The Lion is worth 20 points while the Free King, the second most powerful piece and equivalent to the Queen in chess, is worth 12. I think if you lose your Lion, I'll probably tear you to pieces. I suggest you work out some other strategy. The Lion basically has the power to move like a king twice with a jumping ability, so I doubt you could corner it. It's a tough piece to track and I could cause a lot of devastation.

I wonder if you want to take that move back ;)
P-7h
Indeed, if such an option is available. But how often is that really the case?
Your own. Say I wanted to pin your queen with my bishop. I could offer that move, but then my opponent would have the option to tell me to do something else. Obviously this can present great difficulty to both players when they have one particular option they'd prefer to make, but are forced to make another.

So we are in the same time zone. I was wondering about that.
I suspected it for a while, but I was sure of it over a week ago. ;)
I'm a little nervous to engage in battle, but P-7f
Yes, definitely.
