emmett: What is the GNU Shogi manual? Is it on line? AND have you taken a look at Tai Shogi? The board is 25x25 with a total of 354 pieces. There is some suggestion that an even larger form of Shogi once existed called "Tai-Kyoku" where the board size was thought to be 36x36! A game with those porportions might take weeks or even months to finish. Maybe we shogi players should revive these games and make them team sports!
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
