Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

Although i don't know the game of Ghuu Shogi, i have to say that a bigger board with even more tactical abilities is not always something good and more fun. In fact there is a limit on the board and on the branching factor of the game, and after that human brain is incapable of playing a good game. A 12x12 board with many new pieces create a dizzy brain......
I think Gothic Chess board 10x8 is the upper limit for a human in order to play a competitive game without blundering all the time.....
